A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen Book Summary

The Instant New York Times bestseller! A Street Cat Named Bob is now a major motion picture, the film’s all-star cast includes Luke Treadway (Unbroken, Clash of the Titans), Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey), and Ruta Gedmintas (The Borgias).

James is a street musician struggling to make ends meet.
Bob is a stray cat looking for somewhere warm to sleep.

When James and Bob meet, they forge a never-to-be-forgotten friendship that has been charming readers from Thailand to Turkey.

A Street Cat Named Bob is an international sensation, landing on the bestseller list in England for 52 consecutive weeks and selling in 26 countries around the world.

When street musician James Bowen found an injured cat curled up in the hallway of his apartment building, he had no idea how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London, barely making enough money to feed himself, and the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent but very sick animal, whom he named Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, imagining that he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas.

This instant classic about the power of love between man and animal has taken the world by storm and is a perfect gift book for cat lovers.

My Cat named Bob. I enjoyed reading this book, wishing I have this kind of cat, so smart.

A Street Cat Named Bib. Four paws!! No, make that five!! The author is right, everyone needs a Bob in their life !! Read this book and smile, inside and out!!

Happily surprised. I have read a lot of books about cats and dogs and their companion animals humans. This is the first book I read where the human was a drug abuser-no need to mince words that's what bobs human says he was so that's what I write. I devoured the first half of the book and then got impatient. I read ahead in bits and pieces and got it all wrong in my mind. It seemed as if he was back sliding back into drugs. You see I knew nothing about bob or his human and didn't know at the time how their future had already worked out. I just couldn't bear it if he started using again. I mean what about bob and would they both be ok. Here in America pets are not allowed in housing so if bad things started happening again would bob be a street cat again and would James be homeless? A few weeks go by and I pick the book up again and decide to power through no matter what and man I could kick myself. James thinks of bob and gets on methadone and then off methadone and then gets clean. He writes this wonderful book and I shared it with my sister in law. I bought the second one. It is just as good. Just get it and read it. Everyone deserves a second third fourth ...chance to get things right. No one should be written off.

Great. What a wonderful relationship ....I was always a dog person until I met a cat at a friends house...for some reason she and I fell madly in love....her name is Katy, but to she and i , she is Little Girl....I can relate to finding a cat that fits you.....

A Streetcat Named Bob. Simply told, this book about a recovering drug addict and a stray cat offers a glimpse into the hard life that both characters live. You'd imagine a depressing tale of difficulty and setbacks. These elements are certainly there. Interestingly, the book tells a positive story of recovery and redemption in a direct and engaging manner.

Everyone needs a Bob in their life. I cannot say enough good things about this book. It was great from beginning to end. It was heart wrenching, sad at times and touching, all at the same time. I fell in love with the relationship that James and Bob have. Everyone needs a Bob in their life!

A Street Cat Named Bob. Amazing and heartwarming. I loved this book. James held nothing back about how Bob saved his life. I was wonderful. I wanted more. So glad this was released in the United States.

Absolutely wonderful!. I couldn't stop reading the book once I started, this story is truly unique and amazing. Inspiring and uplifting to see this kind of bond and the journey that brought them together. I'm forever a fan...thank you for sharing so candidly.

A Street Cat named Bob. Wonderful and positive book--can't wait to read the next one!!!!

Such an endearing story.. Need a great story to read? Looking for a rainy, snowy day, relaxing on the sand, long plane ride kinda book? Look no further! A MUST READ!!!

Spiritual and so real!. Super stupendous and wonderful. Simple yet deep as the sea!

Excellent!. I am a 38 year old African American male, and cat lover! And while my struggles in life are -for obvious reasons- different. A cat named Jacob changed my life in 2005, in the same sense as Bob did for James. This story is inspirational, and also a great telling of how, something so sweet can change your WHOLE perspective on life! Give a cat a chance to show you TRUE love!

A Special Cat. This book can remind us all of the powerful connection between man and animal. In this case a very smart and lovable cat named Bob. I also was impressed with the writer's honesty about his addiction and how he lived a lonely existence until Bob came into his life. It never ceases to amaze me how smart cats are. As a cat owner I can relate to Bob's intuitive personality and loyalty. Hope to read another book on Bob's adventures!

A Street Cat Named Bob. Absolutely LOVED this book! What a special and remarkable story! A must share with friends and family! Continued blessings to both James and Bob :)

Great read. I loved this book for many reasons, but the humility and compassion shown between James and Bob is amazing. It is true when they ask who rescued who. =^..^=

An enjoyable and meaningful story!. Unless you just don’t like cats, this story will leave you in a wonderful place. Great story about the power of pets and their unconditional love, the difficulties of life and dealing with its effects through escapism, and having the strength to find purpose and direction in life to overcome. Puts the meaning of life in perspective.

A Street Cat Named Bob. Boysmumas Best book I have read ever. I'm a cat lover and have a big ginger cat named Chuck. He's not quite as smart as Bob and uses a litter box, but is a great companion. I hope this author writes a sequel to this book so I can keep up with Bob's adventures. He certainly is a magical cat.

Very heart warming. I love how they saved each other, and yes everybody deserves a second chance in life. I can't wait for the sequel.

A Street Cat Named Bob. A must read book! The book was very inspiring, courageous, and heart warming. I really appreciated the writer's insights into how it is to live on the street, which gave me different perspectives. The human-animal bond between Bob and the writer reminded us how importance it is in our lives, but their extraordinary bond showed the deeper level of inter-specie relationships. I applaud both of them and I cannot wait to read the sequel and I will be sure follow how they are in the future.

A Street Cat Named Bob. This book was great! It makes you look at life and people not a part of your comfort zone in a new light. Being a cat lover and also having a cat we think has special gifts I loved the story and the honesty from the writer about how sometimes we get a gift and we need to appreciate it and what a huge part animals can play in our lives.

Loved it! Loved Bob!. What a great story forge power of the love of an animal!

Amazing book!!. Excellent story between James and Bob!!! A must book to read for pet lovers!! Bob is super cute.

Loved it. Sweet story I fell in love with Bob

So simple yet carries so much wisdom. The writer and his street companion, Bob, have so much to teach us about life, love, and recovery. Read it.

A Street Cat Named Bob. For The Love Of Bob James Bowen doesn't pull any punches in his account of his life before and after meeting Bob. His description of the gritty lows takes the reader to life on the streets and paints a vivid picture of drug dependence and recovery, and the transformation of the human condition during both. I found myself turning pages eager to see what happened next and genuinely worried for their well being in some of their misadventures. The bond between Bob and James will warm your heart.

Just love this book. This was I think the most touching story i've ever read. I can't wait until the sequel "Life According Bob is available in the iTunes eBook store

A great uplifting story. What a delightful, uplifting and inspiring story, which again reinforces the healing power of animals! Will look forward to reading more about Bob and Jim in future books.

To Bob & James. Thank you so much for this exceptional story. Loved every word. Will be reading it again and again. Here is wishing you James and Bob many, many wonderful years together. The two of you ever make it to Texas, USA I plan to be at the book signing. Xoxoxox

Wonderful!. This is a great story of love. James and Bob are a wonderful couple; they look after one another, and are respectful of each other. I really appreciated James's honesty about his addiction and recovery, plus giving credit to Bob for his support. I wish I knew both of them.

Heartwarming. I bought this book on a whim and immediately loved it! It's a heartwarming story and it makes you realize how those affected by homelessness and addiction cope though their struggles, and how just one angel, in James' case, Bob, can really help turn your life around. It made me grateful for the things I have in life, and made me cuddle my cat (and dog) a little closer while we sat in bed and read. It was a quick and easy read that hasn't ended yet - Bob and James are still together, just living a slightly different life!
