Bruce's segment in this book was hilarious! Will he ever settle down? Bertie realizing that his little brother looks like his therapist was another hilarious moment.

Very calm, but not much happens at all. Just progressions along

Divertente, simpatico, allegro, spiritoso e piacevole. Forse un pò di più degli altri libri della serie!
Il punto di vista del piccolo Bertie è esilarante, vorrei solo poterlo incontrare per parlare con lui :)

This is the fourth in a series and with very small sections makes a perfect book to read with my sandwich al lunch. The stories expand on the lives of the residents of Scotland Street in Edinburgh from bertie who at 6 years old has to cope with his appalling mother as well as a new brother, to Angus lordie whose dog cyril is about to be put down until bertie comes to his rescue . These are gentle sketches far removed from the Edinburgh of Ian rankin and Irvine welsh but enjoyable in their own way.

So it's been a year since I last visited Scotland Street, so it was time to grab a coffee, snuggle up in some PJs and get reading. It really is like catching up with friends, Bertie's mum is still just as controlling and I really wish his dad would just man up a bit. Bruce is back and is just as annoying as ever, although he may well have met his match. Antonio and Dominica were quite amusing too, assessing thier friendship now they are neighbours and working out the boundaries. At least this time I know it won't be year before my next visit as I've got the next one to read immediately to give to my secret Santa.
