About this listen
A special audio edition for children age 11 and above.
"We are all given second chances every day of our lives, but we don't usually take them. Then I met Bob."
James Bowen was a homeless musician, busking on the streets of London to survive. But the moment he met an injured stray cat with ginger fur and big green eyes, his life began to change. Together James and Bob the cat faced the world - and won.
A purrfectly true "tail" of love and friendship to make you smile!

An inspiring story of our time
This is the true story of a cat bringing purpose and structure to one man's life whilst touching a whole community. For those of us who have never sold the big issue it also gives an education of how and why this is a wonderful chance for a return to self worth but has limitations for those with out good levels of intelligence and organizational ability. It would be a hard person who is not challenged about how we treat those at the bottom of the financial heap
This all sounds rather worth and dry but it is an enjoyable story which is unforgetable

Uplifting & hopefully inspirational
From the depths of despair - new horizons are miraculously revealed. Emotional connection is so fundamental.

A unique book for a unique friend
Bob No Ordinary Cat - an emotional book about a special friendship between Bob and James, a cat and a human. The characters are on of the aspects which are well described. They are well depicted and you can really sympathize with them. The story had ups and downs but did always make me want to read on. The book manages to keep the balance between making you laugh and making you cry for example when James got rid of his addiction. Some parts of the book might have been a little hard to understand, but it's written so well that it's not a big problem. In the end, the story could really persuade its reader and according to the fact that it is a true story, it's even better!

Not much to say
Don't bother...very boring. A complete waste of money could recommend this to any one not even cat lovers.
