A Street Cat Named Bob: How One Man and His Cat Found Hope on the Streets
by James Bowen
by James Bowen
What a simply beautiful book.
I have three cats of my own, but that doesn't mean I'm a sucker for a book that has a cure cat on its cover.
A Street Cat Named Bob is a wonderful, honest account of a man, James Bowen, and his cat, Bob. What makes this book superior to many other reads is how James never lets the terrible things in his life get him down for long.
Bob is clearly part of his salvation and, knowing how wonderful cats are, I can only say that anytime Bob was in danger, I felt genuinely worried something bad might happen to him.
The book is well written and super easy to read. You could read this in one sitting, or spread it out, like I did.
It's one of those books I didn't want to finish, so it's great that 'The World According to Bob' was published soon after.
If you like cats, like antiheroes like James (very likeable guy but not without his faults - making him even better in my eyes) and just a fine read, look no further than this. Then get all the 'Bob' books in the series.
Bravo James, I wish you and Bob the best.
