I have read and recommended two previous books written by James Bowen about his life with his cat named Bob. These two books are entitled, "A Street Cat Named Bob" and "The World According to Bob." For those of you who don't know the story, James Bowen was a recovering drug addict who was trying to make a living and avoid being homeless again by being a street musician. One day, James came back to his apartment and found an injured cat. James took the cat to the veterinarian and nursed the cat back to health. James named the cat Bob, and the two formed a deep friendship.
Bob began coming out on the street with James, and Bob often rode on James' shoulder as the pair walked around London. Eventually, James became a "Big Issue" magazine seller, and with Bob's help, James' life improved greatly.
One day, a literary agent spotted the pair, and the rest is book publishing history.
This week, the new book by James Bowen entitled "A Gift From Bob" was released here in the United States. This book is about a special Christmas that James and Bob spent together before fame and fortune came their way.
James was prepared to spend Christmas as just another day, but this Christmas brought many surprises. During the course of the book, James will realize that it is truly better to give than to receive and that the simple things in life make Christmas truly meaningful.
This is another great book that details the continuing story of James and Bob. I highly recommend this book. It will make great Christmas reading.
