"I just can't say enough good things about Alexander McCall Smith's books. His sense of people is so gentle, lightly humorous without ridiculing the inner needs and emotional desires each person has. Reading one of his books always makes me happy. "

Love Over Scotland Listener Reviews
-
" These just keep getting better! I highly recommend this series. "
— Ames, 2/14/2014 -
" I'm deeply sorry, Alexander. You know I love you, but this time, in this book, nothing happens (or almost): you're such a good writer, but sometimes... the story matters. "
— Theut, 2/12/2014 -
" some characters i like better than others... "
— Erin, 2/8/2014 -

— Gail, 2/3/2014 -
" Interesting format- like a soap opera or sitcom. "
— Alex, 1/26/2014 -
" A delightful book with a rich variety of interesting characters - I can't wait to read the next one. I enjoyed this more than his detective series. "
— Dianna, 1/26/2014 -
" I love his characters. Hate to finish the book and tell the characters goodbye. 3rd book in the series. Just love his gentle satire, and tongue in cheek writing. Chuckling as I read. "
— Becky, 1/25/2014 -
" It was indeed okay. Not thrilling or exciting or even particularly interesting, except as a study for how to screw up a person's mind starting at the age of 6. But okay. Question for AMS: do all Scots eat only Italian food? "
— Rebecca, 1/25/2014 -
" I didn't very much care for this book...I doubt if I would recommend it to anyone...and what IS with the authors obcession with "crushed strawberry corduroys"??? "
— Lisa, 1/23/2014 -
" As enjoyable and entertaining as ever. "
— Alison, 1/19/2014 -
" Made me laugh out loud and try to explain the events to others. Always a good sign. "
— Kirsten, 1/6/2014 -
" It begins to be difficult to write reviews about these books, as they're all so similar. That's what's charming about them, though. So much in my life is dramatic, that sometimes a simple, calming, straightforward story (with excellent characters) is exactly what I need. "
— Brittany, 1/5/2014 -
" McCall Smith has such a wonderful style. To put humor into such simple everyday lives is captivating and a joy. I look forward to the next installment of Scotland Street. "
— Katie, 12/28/2013 -
" Another enjoyable read in the series, although I didn't enjoy it quite so much. Having said that Bertie's Paris jaunt and the delving into the mind of Cyril was entertaining. "
— Claud, 12/20/2013 -

— Charlene, 12/11/2013 -

" I love these books. They make me laugh and soothe the troubled spirit. "
— Michele, 6/5/2013 -
" These "44 Scotland Street" books really do read like episodes of "Seinfeld" (a show ultimately about nothing)! There is the sense of the ridiculous portrayed often but done in a sweet, touching manner. I'm really enjoying reading these books. "
— Shilpa, 4/3/2013 -
" many human stories happening simultaneously in one row house street in endinburgh. family stress, pining for love, heartbreak and betrayal all in the lives of 6 characters. i enjoyed this book, but wouldn't highly recommend it. "
— Laura, 2/9/2013 -
" Wonderful stories, even more wonderful characters! "
— Christina, 9/9/2012 -
" McCall Smith has several lines of books. I love the way he is able to switch tone for them. "
— Carolyn, 6/19/2012 -
" If Jane Austen lived in Edinburgh in the 21st century, she would write about these people, maybe not the same stories but her pen would enjoy exposing this eclectic group. "
— DaNae, 5/14/2012 -
" I love the books in this series! "
— Jennifer, 3/5/2012 -
" There's something quiet and reassuring about the 44 Scotland Street series, and this one's no exception. "
— Sangeeta, 1/31/2012 -

— Jen, 9/29/2011 -
" Liked this SOO much better than the first in the series (44 Scotland Street)--most of the characters, with the exception of Irene, grew on me, and having just been to Edinburgh last summer, the setting was what really made the book. "
— Libby, 8/16/2011 -
" Made me laugh out loud and try to explain the events to others. Always a good sign. "
— Kirsten, 6/29/2011 -
" I enjoyed the first three in the series. This maybe because I know British society quite well. The Scots are their own people. McCall Smith has a humorous way of writing about them. "
— Louise, 5/23/2011 -
" I love the books in this series! "
— Jennifer, 5/5/2011 -
" Really enjoying this series. Whilst it covers all of the people living in the building in Scotland street, this book focuses on Bertie and his trip to Paris. Wonderful characterizations. "
— Jan, 3/15/2011 -

— Laila, 3/10/2011 -
