Book Review

    The book I am reviewing today is called "A Streetcat Named Bob" written by James Bowen.  As this book begins, James Bowen is a recovering drug addict who is working as a street musician.  One day, James finds an injured ginger tomcat in his apartment building.  James gets veterinary care for the cat, and the two begin what will become a great relationship.
     Eventually, Bob begins to join James as James plays his guitar on the streets and while James tries to sell magazines in order to make enough money. 
     This book is a runaway bestseller in the United Kingdom.  I am not sure that it is published in the United States yet.  I happened to get a copy from Britain.  Besides the great relationship between man and cat, this book gives readers a glimpse into the problems of drug addiction and homelessness.  I highly recommend this book.
