- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved this..narrator was excellent..story was so heartwarming and also well told
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What made this book so great was the relationship between Bob the cat and the author. Once James chose to be responsible for Bob, the need to make a living legally and the desire to get clean, joined forces to improve the quality of their lives as a team. Their mutual affection and loyalty to one another is easily felt by anyone with a similar relationship with a pet. I love the fact that the rescued each other and James got clean for love of Bob.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic book. I found the movie on YouTube and watched it then looked for the book. As usual, the book is filled with far more details. Looking forward to reading the next one by the author.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5perfect book
i liked the plot
my respect to james - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Easy read, not that dramatic as made out to be by a colleague.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Such a sweet book! Bob is awesome and you can't help but wish James the very best.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5THE simply most beautiful and heart-warming story I've ever read is about a stray cat and a 'stray' man finding each other in the streets of London and how they help each other. A story of an extraordinary friendship. Someone said on the net, it's a love story and it is.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5So enjoyed this story of a young homeless man living on the streets of London with a ginger tabby. In this true biography, James, addicted to heroin, tells how he was `invisible' when he was homeless, and the difference it made when he found Bob and took him busking with him. Now the busy tourist and neighbors - the public - saw James, chatted with him, actually felt something for him. Bob, the cat, humanised the man who was with him, and helped James turn his life around. Being a Bristish book, I found the different use of words very interesting. James simple and "honest" approach of the story was refreshing. The overall point being how profoundly James life was saved, maybe? or turned around by this personable feline and yes Bob's life was enriched as well.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very cute, wish I could meet Bob the Cat. This was a good animal book to read because Bob is still alive, so there wasn't any tear-jerking death scene to read through. It was stressful when Bob ran away a couple times when something scared him. It's a miracle James was able to find him both times.
