Review - A street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen

                                                                                    Amazon | Goodreads

Bob is intelligent, loyal a truly special creature. James takes pity on Bob, saving his life when he could have left him to the streets. In return Bob provides James with the unconditional love and affection only a pet can provide. bob accompanies James on busking trips in the center where they encounter everything from kindness to cruelty.

One thing that did put me off was James' whining about his childhood. Apart from moving around a lot he didn't actually seem to have it that bad. His decision to run away, becoming homeless and addicted to heroin isn't really justified. The repetitive wallowing makes it a little hard to feel sorry him. I'm not a complete asshole but I have a fairly low tolerance for repetitive writing. 

If you can get passed the writing you'll find a heart warming story of how we can find friendship in the most unexpected places.
