44 SCOTLAND STREET - Book 2

The residents and neighbors of 44 Scotland Street and the city of Edinburgh come to vivid life in these gently satirical, wonderfully perceptive serial novels, featuring six-year-old Bertie, a remarkably precocious boyâ??just ask his mother.  
 
Back are all our favorite denizens of a Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh. Bertie the immensely talented six year old is now enrolled in kindergarten, and much to his dismay, has been clad in pink overalls for his first day of class. Bruce has lost his job as a surveyor, and between admiring glances in the mirror, is contemplating becoming a wine merchant. Pat is embarking on a new life at Edinburgh University and perhaps on a new relationship, courtesy of Domenica, her witty and worldly-wise neighbor. McCall Smith has much in store for them as the brief spell of glorious summer sunshine gives way to fall a season cursed with more traditionally Scottish weather.

Full of McCall Smithâ??s gentle humor and sympathy for his characters, Espresso Tales is also an affectionate portrait of a city and its people who, in the authorâ??s own words, â??make it one of the most vibrant and interesting places in the wo… (meer)

I enjoyed this more than the first book, probably because I was a bit more familiar with the concept and the characters and knew what to expect.

Bertie's parts are still my favourite, and it was nice to see things get better for him. I also liked seeing Bruce fuck up, although of course he was a smug ass by the end still. Oh well, you can't get everything.

I didn't really like Matthey in this though: I found him sympathetic in the first book, but this hatred of Janis in this one was a bit too much. And Pat suddenly wanting him when he was rich? Plz...

You could tell McCall Smith didn't plan on writing more in this series (he even says it in the foreword), so it'll be interesting to see what happens in book three, but I'm sure he'll make it work. I've seen other series going on for longer than expected with good results, I've no reason to doubt that this will. ( )

This was a difficult book to put down. Its daily format encourages that, of course, but even so, it was a joy to read. Its characters are engaging, helping the reader to laugh, cry and a few times even cringe in agony.

Overall, I enjoyed it quite a bit and look forward to the next. ( )

I enjoy this series, but this one started dragging a bit in some parts, especially during the Ramsey Dunbarton Story. Either I missed the point or it was really boring. Since his wife kept falling asleep while he was reading part of it to her, I suspect it's not just me.

There was a guest appearance in this book - Ian Rankin, author of the Inspector Rebus series. This was a bit of a surprise; I've read the first few books of that series.

There was some really good humor, but a lot of boring stuff too. It's nice for a change, but I don't think I'll keep reading right away. It seems to have reached a point where things are changing a lot, and a lot of characters are planning to go away, so it may be a good stopping point. ( )

I found myself, if not quite dreading, at least worrying about what was going to happen to some of the characters, but things turn up surprisingly well for most of them. To say more would be to give away situations that I hope will be resolved in the next book. ( )
