About this product

Product Information

When James Bowen found an injured, ginger street cat curled up in the hallway of his sheltered accommodation, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London and the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom he quickly christened Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, imagining he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas. Soon the two were inseparable and their diverse, comic and occasionally dangerous adventures would transform both their lives, slowly healing the scars of each other's troubled pasts. A STREET CAT NAMED BOB is a moving and uplifting story that will touch the heart of anyone who reads it.

  • An amazing read !

    I took this away on holiday with me and read it in 3 days! Even trying to pace myself I couldn’t as I couldn’t put it down ! It’s not a particularly long book But a nice easy read , I just wish it was longer ! 100% recommend ! Just bought “the world according to Bob” the second I put the book down ! Definitely suited to someone looking for an easy and exiting read ! James Bowen really opens eyes to the world of those struggling financially and makes you appreciate life just that little bit more. Inspiring ! Love love love !

  • Sweet, lightweight book

    Bookclub pick. Super easy read, well (ghost) written, but still let author's voice come through. I liked it, but there wasn't a lot to it.

  • A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen

    Such a lovely book to read, it makes you appreciate how difficult life can be for people trying to make a living on the streets, also purchased this book for a friend who is more of a dog lover but she enjoyed it just as much as me. Have since read the sequel, which is just as good

  • Inspiring

    Great read of a great and inspiring story. Saw the film and had to read the book it was based on. If you don't know how the love and total devotion an animal can both give and inspire man to give in return then read this book.
