This is the continuing story of my favorite cat and his owner. I first met Bob in the book A Streetcat named Bob and was touched how the 2 street souls saved each other. I couldn't wait for a sequel. Here it is.
The tale this time more of the interaction of Bob and James. How extraordinary Bob is and how jealous and cruel people still can be even when you are trying your best to be your best. A good read and I hope again for more on Bob and James. I am a big fan of Bob!!!

The World According to Bob The further adventures of one man and his streetwise cat James Bowen 9781444777567 Books Reviews

This is a heart warming story of a relationship between a man and his cat. I am reading this story to my 8 yr old grandson. He loves it. In addition, to the relationship so perfectly described, the book very bluntly describes the devastating disaster that drug addiction causes and the tremendous fight getting out from under the addiction. I'm a little squeamish about the bad words, however, they are reality and used in context to the situation being described. Certainly is a book that young people should read because of the life lessons as well as what "furbabies" can do for our well being! Coincidentally, my grandson's mother runs an out patient drug and alcohol counseling facility so it gave him some good insight into the people his mother helps on a daily basis !
This book is not what I expected, after reading several books with dogs, and cats as the main character in the plot. That being said, it is a very good book. The main character in the book, is a man who has been homeless, and on drugs. His portrayal of how a street, cat helped him in all phases of his recovery is both helpful, and moving. It is not sappy, which it could be, but instead, a very truthful, and heartfelt admission, that we all need some help along the way, and he was lucky enough to find his help in a cat. I often think pets are sent to us, exactly when we need them, if we accept that help. A very good read. Hard to put down. I recommend it.
If James' and Bob's lives could be summed up in a patchwork quilt, with would be a wild tapestry of rainbows and storm clouds. That could be said of most of us, but then, most of us didn't have to worry about putting food on the table based upon 'the kindness of strangers' .
While Bob brings more hope and enjoyment, making a living as a busker and/or magazine vendor comes with risks. Not the least of which was being approached by those who are trying to lure James into those dark paths. And when one of them ends up unconscious on the steps of his apartment, the experience cements James' determination to stay clean. Bob, as per usual, acts as both the one James takes care of and the one who watches over him as they 'weather' adversity and just plain strangeness of some people, as well as ...the weather itself.

However, there is light on the sometimes gloomy London horizon. And that light comes from those who are interested in making the daily struggles of James and Bob into a human interest story. Not to mention the dozens of posts on Youtube. Little do Bob and James know, but their little story is about to free them from the street. Spoiler They find out.

Just before finishing this book, I sat down and watched the movie (A Street Cat Named Bob ) and appreciated my creature comforts so much more after. LIVING that life, I'm 100% certain, makes the best friends thankful for the good fortune that came from a single act of kindness shown to a homeless and lonely creature.

I was going to say I love a happy 'ending' but they're still at it. Only now, the occasional bit of busking is for a specific cause (Blue Cross or RSPCA) . And the wider profile James and Bob have given to The Big Issue has helped more of the vendors, since more people know that they simply need a hand UP, not a hand out.
I must admit that I was super late coming into the land of James and Bob as far as the books go, but after seeing the movie, my husband and I were hooked. We, too, have a "Ginger" tabby cat but I don't think with his name being "Orange" that it is quite up there with James's "Bob"... He doesn't have a book series as he hasn't done a whole lot but attack my living room carpet (he isn't quite into saving lives as of yet). Here in these wondrous pages, the great saving grace of a story about the World's happily adopted by the written word, cat, - Bob - continues on with a look back at how James and Bob got to where they are now and that is to wellness; Hallelujah! It proceeds to tell us of how Bob continues to be a constant reminder to James to know just where his life has been and how far of a leap he has made to get out of it by caring for his kitty and with extraordinarily difficult work on his own part. Bob keeps James well-grounded, keeping his feet firmly planted in his life now while not looking back at dark times... Bob is his four-pawed orange sunshine with big smiling eyes. What a beauty of a kitty to behold and that scarf!

After seeing the movie and immediately being so moved by it, I wrote about the pair here in the movie section but didn't order the book (but did the film) until a while later; darn - I regret that now, but am glad to be too late than never concerning the idiosyncrasies of a man and his love for his pet tabby cat. Books about the story along with movies of people and their amazing restoring pets are almost unbelievable to me in their honesty, showering of happiness for the readers of them, and the resurrection of a wonderful life for the pet owner, and, of course, the pet himself. In this case, Mr. James Bowen (keep those books coming as you two have a faithful following, James) knows just how fortunate he is to have the love of a great ginger tabby cat so they can look into this big old "World According to Bob". This is the sumptuous sequel to the inspirational story that has swept the world and swept away my own heart. What a great read... Again.
