Reviews with content warning for Drug abuse - A Street Cat Named Bob: And How He Saved My Life

This was such a wholesome read, I watched the film years ago but never read the book which Is really an autobiography of James and Bob's life. It was extremely brave of James to be so open about his difficult past and addiction. The connection he has to Bob is truly beautiful and it really goes to show that pets can change our lives as much as we can change theirs. The power of love and having to be responsible for them is so special and Bob is such a special cat. It's sad that he had to use Bob as his special weapon to help get people to notice him from busking and through selling the big issue and the adversity he faced from law enforcement and other street performers and big issue sellers. It was a really inspiring story which just makes you want to give your pets an extra hug tonight and thank them for being in our lives.

This book is a very cute and heartwarming story but both the plot and the writing is SO repetitive that it sometimes drove me crazy. Read it if you have nothing else to read
Ps. I had to read it in full because of a school project but otherwise I think I would have put it down and not finished it as a whole
