The book that I would like to review today is "The Little Book of Bob" by James Bowen. Those who read the blog on a regular basis will know that I've reviewed several of the books about James and Bob including, "A Streetcat Named Bob", "The World According to Bob", and "A Gift From Bob". I've recommended all of them, and I recommend this new book as well.
For those of you who don't know the story, James was trying to beat his addiction to drugs. He'd been homeless off and on for years, but he was living in subsidized housing. In order to make a living, he was playing his guitar on the streets.
One night, James found an injured cat. Bob entered James' life, and he was an important reason that James was able to get off drugs and start improving his life.
In this new book, James tells a few of the lessons that he's learned about life from Bob in the years that they've now been together. There are small sections throughout the book that give a life lesson learned from Bob such as "Don't let a bad yesterday spoil a good today" and "We all need something to believe in".
This is a small book, but it is worth reading. I hope that James and Bob keep going strong together for many years to come.
