Loved this sequel! Very touching read. Getting ready to read author's 3rd book. In researching the author and Bob, I read that Bob was found dead one morning along a street by James with suspect that Bob had been hit by a car...June 2020.…

A sequel to the best-selling memoir, A Street Cat Named Bob, this takes us back to some of the gritty, challenging times of James and his feline friend working on the streets of London. From heartbreaking to funny to heartwarming, the bond…

I actually started reading this before I realized that it is a sequel to A Street Cat Named Bob. However it wasn't at all hard to follow once I got started. James does repeat a lot of what was in Street Cat so sometimes I felt like I was…

This comment by X-Y_Zed here is totally irrelevant, because it is about an 80 years old human love story. Nothing to do with James and Bob in the streets of London. But the book written by James we talk about here is a very good one, which…

This is a 1936 American film directed by Archie Mayo, adapted from Robert E. Sherwood's stage play of the same name. Alan Squier---once a respected British writer, now a disillusioned, penniless drifter---wanders into a roadside diner in…

This is the best, most detailed, action packed version of the story of the Bob-James duo, "the two musketeers" as James calls it. This book is so good, engaging, that I purchased it from Chapers-Indigo and am re-reading it. Thumbs up.

An enjoyable large-print book with interesting street adventures of the Bob-James duo. Thumbs up. This is the most interesting one of the book series of the street fighter hero team.

This book is the best, most action packed of the Bob series, I enjoyed reading it. Bob is a unique, street-wise character. This large print version is very readable. I especially enjoyed the suspenseful episodes of the lady who tried to…

A fair and good follow-up to A Street Cat Named Bob. Their remarkable story together continues. Quite the inspiring story. This sequel and the first book formed the basis for the movie.

Interesting at many levels, the human animal bond, street life and the good and bad in human behaviour, struggles with addiction. An easy read, a real pleasure.

Writing style is pretty bad in my opinion, but the story is engaging.

Bob the cat has given his human companion James a totally new lease on life, appreciation for the power of love, and an increased interest in how he can reach out to others, with Bob as the inspiration. James has come such a long way in…

The second installment about a man and his cat. Simply written, James Bowen gives us more stories and lessons he learned from his cat Bob. More importantly, he gives us insight into what it's like to be homeless. He says, "People…

Not quite as gripping as the first book, this is still a lovely sequel that will warm your heart while answering the question, "What happened next?" I hope further adventures of James and Bob are forthcoming.

This is another sweet and touching book by James Bowen about his experiences with Bob. I loved both of his honest and inspirational books. Bob is awesome and this highlights the real benefits of animal therapy.

loved this book, James is honest about the bad decisions and choices he has made in his life and credits Bob with giving him the strength and courage to turn his life around. There is talk of a possible movie deal and I would definitely go…
