Summary
Kris Milnes's uplifting performance of a story that has captured the hearts of the nation will bring you a new level of appreciation and empathy for author James and his faithful furry companion.
The phenomenal number one best seller about best friends James and Bob. Now a major motion picture starring Luke Treadaway.
Shortlisted for: Popular Non-Fiction Book of the Year - Specsavers National Book Awards 2012
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 hears it.

Good heartfelt book.
Being a cat lover I was drawn to this book anyway. I enjoyed the frank and honest way in which the author told his story. The book also gave me more insight into issues faced by drug users among other things.

I wish I had a furry friend like Bob.
Amazing story! I wish I had a cat. This book really captures the emotions of a cat owner. I really want to meet James Bowen and of corse, little Bob.
1 problem is the author could put a little more enthusiasm into reading it. But apart from that, this book is fantastic

Lovely story and well narrated
Lovely story about a bond between a man and a cat that changed both their lives. For cat lovers it's a rather obvious choice, but perhaps it's even more for people who don't like or understand cats, but who can understand what it's like to struggle in life and to find something ot someone to keep them on track.
I enjoyed the way it's narrated. Well read, with enough interpretation from the narrator to make it sound as if he was the actual storyteller but not overly theatrical. I enjoyed Kris Milnes' voice and accent too. Very appropriate for this story.

A heartwarming story
This is a wonderful story that I had first come across via a cat group on Facebook. I had kept meaning to purchase it but had always forgotten. It is truly heartwarming and shows how with a little help we can all get second chances in life.
