Publisher Description

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.

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.

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. =^..^=

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.
