More of the same from James Bowwn and his street cat Bob. But this is still great read for every animal lover.

Inspirational. Gives you hope about the world, and faith. The idea everything happens for a reason. That someone is looking out for us and sends help when we need it.

After finishing [b:A Gift from Bob: How a Street Cat Helped One Man Learn the Meaning of Christmas|23848554|A Gift from Bob How a Street Cat Helped One Man Learn the Meaning of Christmas|James Bowen|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1428639087l/23848554._SY75_.jpg|42795588] I didnt have any other choice but to read the last unread Bobs book which was actually second to be published.

As in the other Bob books the writing aint great and there was repetition and this time Im not going to be forgivable! Until this book I though well its a homeless ex-drugaddict writing a bopok, what do you expect. Its good enough he is willing to share their journey. But then I learned they had hired a co-writer! And Sure enough looking inside the firs page clearly states two authors! So I don't understand how it could still be so messy!

But the story is what matters and what moved me and thats why Ill probably re-read those books again in my life just to spend more time with the most lovable Bob. Rest in peace dear.

Bob. =^..^=

It took me way too long to finish this. When I actually got to reading this book, I easily read 50-100 pages (378 pages all together), but it still took me at least a year and a half from start to end.

I did love following James and Bob, I was captivated while reading. Still, it was obviously not enough for me to want to pick it up again, once I had put it down.

As with all memoirs, I find it a bit difficult to rate and review. It's not as if the story could be different. I read the Norwegian translation, which I didn't love, but got used to (doesn't affect my rating).

Slower paced than the 1st book. At time, some chapters felt a little dull, as though he was struggling for novel topics to cover. Still enjoyable though and an uplifting easy read

This story is so uplifting, you will feel better after reading it. I loved this book just as much as the original "A Street Cat Named Bob: And How He Saved My Life."
