I'd been trying to find this book at the price I can afford and I found it the cheapest on eBay. There are many versions of the story with many titles between Bob, the stray ginger cat and James Owen, the drug addict Englishman. They help each other to face various life trials and tribulations and overcome them together successfully. James Bowen ends up writing many books on Bob and has become drug free. This is the version first published in paperback by Hodder & Stoughton, 2012. It's really quite a fascinating story. The story has gained worldwide recognition and is published into many titles and languages. It's also made into an awarded movie of the same name. The movie will also have the sequel coming out soon.

actually i was hoping to see the side of the homeless personm how the world sees him, and how he feels.. more about his inner world.. more about how he got there... the struggles and things like that.. i was very disapointed... cuz 80 % of the book is about the cat. anyway, if you are crazy about cats, you will love this book, seriously... its jsut for me was too much BOB.

A street cat named Bob is one of the best stories I've come across in awhile. It's heartwarming as it touches down on the real life struggle of recovering from addiction. Being based on a true story makes it even more appealing. I highly recommend this book and then watching the movie. The movie has a couple of amazing easter eggs to look out for that you will only understand the 2nd time around;-)
