Capture Svijet Prema Bobu (Bob The Cat #2) Authored By James Bowen Provided As Digital

World According to Bob, . by James Bowen. . I won this book through Goodreads, It was an amazing story, The trust Bob had for Jim and Jim doing the very best he could to care for Bob especially when he had little funds, Jim was a recovering drug addict, Jim sold newspapers and played his guitar to earn a little money, He was encouraged to write his first book about Bob and with the help of some professional writers he did it, Bob is everyone's favorite, he did a few tricks and rode on Jim's neck and shoulders as Jim traveled the street of London on his bicycle.
At Jims flat Bob took care of Jim when he wasn't feeling good, Bob would put his paw on Jim's forehead and lay on Jim's chest, purring softly and also putting his ear to Jim's chest to hear his heart beat.
Bob is such an extraordinary cat, With Jim's success he didn't have to earn money on the streets any more, I loved this book. Yay! More Bob!

The review of Bowens first book, A Street Cat Names Bob, left me wishing that Bob had more spotlight, This time, author has got it just right, letting us know more about Bobs characteristics and his escapades, with Bowens life wrapped around the story.


Once again, this story is delightful and I am certain cat owners can relate to so much that we find out about for Bob.
He is definitely a loveable cat and I think that even if you are more of the dog persuasion, you will find it very difficult to not fall in love with this furry feline.
It was so easy to imagine what Bob gets up to, but I do wish that there had been some photographs included in the story, even if they were ones taken by Bobs Londonstreet fans.


What I liked most of all about The World According to Bob, is the happy ending that is finally realised by Bowen and Bob.
After reading so much about their struggles in the first book and most of this one, it was so nice to see Bowens life turn a corner.
The book finishes at the point of publication of first book and the closing comments from Bowen to Bob were really quite touching, There are some dark times in this story and I think this just makes the ending even more enduring,

I really enjoyed reading this book and feel it was better than the first, Bowen doesnt provide an epilogue to say what he and Bob are up to these days, but I guess this just reinforces the belief that life is now a lot better for this duo.
I cant see how another book can be churned out but hope to see Bob about in the future! As someone who was saved by my cat Marcel, which I described in my novella sitelinkA World Without Color, I can say there is not a single thing I did not like about sitelinkThe World According to Bob: The Further Adventures of One Man and His Streetwise Cat.
Just as in its prequel sitelinkA Street Cat Named Bob: The Amazing True Story of One Man and His Cat, Bob made me smile, laugh and cry.
There were so many familiar things in his behavior I saw and recognized in Marcel, Marcel was my world and losing him was an emotional and intellectual apocalypse,

I am grateful to author sitelinkJames Bowen for sharing his touching and difficult life story and for evoking my fondest and saddest memories.
I am grateful to him for sitelinkportraying Bob as someone extraordinary, smart, intelligent and cunning, the most loyal, compassionate and best friend possible,

Animals are the purest souls on this planet and if we let them touch our hearts, we will feel and experience something no other human can give us.
I am saying this not only as someone who has a soft spot for cats and is a one hundred percent cat person, but as someone who has been there and lived it.


Bob, you have my love and admiration, Stay awesome as you are,

sitelinkBernard Jan Wat een leuk boek, en bob blijft toch een plek in mijn hartje houden! O carte drăguţă! Recomand! The World According to Bob are more stories about James Bowen and his adopted street cat Bob.
This was just as lovely and heartwarming as the first book, I enjoyed the adventures the pair had and even got a little teary eyed in places it was so touching, Both have come such a long way on their journey together, James and Bob's story is truly inspiring, Who rescued whom! I love this fucking cat,

I have such an affinity for animals, Not like, "Oh, I love animals they're so fluffy and cute and I just want to look at puppies on the internet all day!"

No.
Like, I have braked hard enough to leave marks on asphalt to get a snake out of the road, I swerve around frogs, and once stopped traffic because a wild turkey had been hit and I ran to wrap him in my jacket, and held him while he died.


I have an affinity for animals,

The first book touched me so deeply, this wonderful, broken person who found this random cat, and this amazing bond that formed between them.
Animals are healers, if you let them in, And these two are just so perfect,

I am more convinced than ever that I need to meet Bob the cat, I promise to bring bubble wrap and catnip balls and yummy treats,

The chapter where James got DVT, and was grumpy and scared that he was chasing Bob away with his antisocial behavior, It broke my heart, because I would've had the same fear, And I was heart broken that Bob didn't have his friend for such a long period of time, and the way he acted while James was hurt.


And then fucking hell, Belle telling him about Bob checking on him while he slept and curling around his leg, Seriously, ugly snot tears. That is an animal who wants to heal, I had one of those, when I needed her the most, I still have her ashes,

I love that James published another book, Thank you to whoever talked him into it, if he was hesitant, I love that there were more Bob stories, and that we got to find out what happened after the book came out, I was furious to read about his removal from the Big Issue, and what an awful time he and Bob had going back on the streets busking.
But the story of Bob saving him from the mugger was probably my favorite thing I've read all year,

The line drawings in this book are so cute, and so sweet, They added flavor to each chapter, way better than if we'd just had pictures of Bob himself,

I want Bob to live to be, I don't ever want to hear about Bob passing away, Ever. When he does, I need to be sheltered from the news, because I will be in hysterics, The World According to Bob is a book written by James Bowen, It was released inand it was a number one book on The Sunday Times' bestseller list, It is the second book of the Bob The Cat series,

James and his street cat Bob have been on a remarkable journey together, In the years since their story ended in the bestselling A Street Cat Named Bob James, with Bob's help, has begun to find his way back to the real world.
Almost every day, Bob provides moments of intelligence, bravery and humour, at the same time opening his human friend's eyes to important truths about friendship, loyalty, trust and the meaning of happiness.
In the continuing tale of their life together, James shows many ways in which Bob has been his protector and guardian angel through times of illness, hardship, even lifethreatening danger.
James knows that the tricks he's taught Bob are nothing compared to the lessons he's learnt from his streetwise cat,

From the beginning, I knew I would love reading this book, Its such an easygoing book, despite all the bad situations described in it, Its not a very long book, and the chapters are just about the right size, The translation was also extremely well performed,

I overall enjoyed this book, It is a very light book, but I think it achieved its purpose, Ill be waiting to hear more about Bobs adventures!

Rating:out ofI'm not sure the title fits, James Bowen relates how his relationship with Bob the cat continues to salvage him from himself, He's kicked his heroin habit, the methadone substitute, and now the weaning drug, He is starting to pull himself together, He's beginning to reconcile with his family, His success at selling The Big Issue is due mainly to Bob, who attracts attention and can perform a trick or two, something no cat would bother to do even for people that fed it well.
I can't say cats actually like any people, but it's clear that Bob does like James,
I only wish my cats liked me that well,
This brings notoriety and thence the opportunity to write the book that precedes this,
What this book taught me was that the second someone starts to get his act together, improve his life, the system starts to work against him, as well as do his former comrades.
I'm reminded of Terry Pratchett's simile of crabs in a bucket, that will pull down any of their fellows that are trying to escape, If James had gotten himself a regular job, he might not still need to sell the magazine, but this is not the case, He has gotten an advance for a book, which he recognizes he will need as a future cushion until he sees whether the book even sells.
Someone starts looking to catch him out in an infraction and he loses his lucrative selling site and the right to sell the magazine, He's reduced to busking, which attracts more hostility and when the police stop harassing him, the humane society is called in to cause James further grief.
I am heartened to learn of the Blue Cross Animal Charity that provides veterinary care for owners who can't afford private fees, Bravo!
Once alguien empieza a medrar, starts to climb up out of the bucket, there should be a second tier of help that encourages instead of withdrawing support.
Does that person still need access to free health care USA, of course but I did wonder why James didn't seek medical help sooner when he was ill, but I guess that means interminable waits that he could be earning, counseling, etc.
Do we make someone run through all their money before helping again That's how people get into financial trouble by not having that cushion,
Bowen's, well, "ghostwriter" has whipped this up into a suspenseful narrative that may not be strictly chronological, I felt a bit manipulated as we worked up to a climax, Still, it made me thoughtful, I'm not sure what James is destined for, Again, now that he is getting income from the books, what happens when that peters out He can't be earning that much, And Bob's not getting any younger, . . This is the sequel to last year's popular book, A Street Cat Named Bob, in which James Bowen talked

about how the stray cat he found helped him turn his life around and quit his drug addiction.
I first found out about this book in a magazine that, somewhat unfairly, slammed the book before it had even been published,

This book picks up where the original left off and tells of James and Bobs' lives up until March, when A Street Cat Named Bob was first sold in the shops.
It felt a bit more like a series of anecdotes than the last one, as each chapter takes a separate subject, mostly talking about what James likes about Bob and bizarre things that have happened to them for example, in one entertaining chapter, Bob is at a friend's flat and James finds him out on the roof his attempts to get him back almost see him getting stuck himself.
The book does not forget about James' past though, and the fifth chapter contains a harrowing account of an addict dying from a heroin overdose.


Most of this book was enjoyable, although it did start with a recap of what happened in the previous book, for the benefit of anyone who didn't read it I found this a bit annoying as I was keen to read a new story about James and Bob.
I enjoyed most of the stories, though there were a few episodes about scrapes with authorities and particularly James getting into trouble about breaking rules while selling the Big Issue felt like the book was retreading old ground.


When I started reading segments that were about the planning of James' first book, I felt like the bottom of the barrel was being scraped I was reading a book about the writing of another book however, I found myself enjoying the account of a conversation with Sir Paul McCartney, and the day of James' first book signing, where he worried that nobody would come to buy his book at one point he worries that he'll find most copies thrown in the bin.
Incidentally, when I came to buy this one on the first day of sale there was a queue around the block, showing that his fears were unfounded.


Overall, this was a decent book and it is worth reading if you're a fan of the original however, I don't think there's much scope for a third Bob book.

Let's be real, this sequel was automatically getting five because I am an absolute sucker for pet stories where the pet in question is alive.
I saw The World According to Bob: the Further Adventures of One Man and his Streetwise Cat in a bookstore and squealed in delight, Although, the subtitle suggests this is a sequel, it's really a prequel, Like a meta prequel. Think more Wes Craven's New Nightmare than The Phantom Menance,

The author, James Bowen, continues the story of where A Street Cat Named Bob left off, He's still selling copies of the Big Issue along with Bob and still tapering off his heroin addiction, Bowen shows growth. He's not nervous about ending his heroin addiction treatment and after a few close calls, Bowen wants to leave the "street life" for good, Also, he gets a book deal and wants to devote attention to that,

The way Bowen describes his relationship with is heartfelt, They are reallylost souls who found each other and make each other better, Bowen has gain maturity and learned responsibility just by caring for Bob, I did worry about Bowen's numerous medical maladies,

Once again, this book is great for animal lovers and for believers of second chances, The second book is a continuing story of how Bob the cat saved James Bowen's life and was his inspiration, This book just as good as the first one, A STREET CAT NAMED BOB, Bob is James Bowen's life saver and forever soul mate, I have enjoyed reading this book and the first book of James's and Bob's life together, I couldn't put it down as I found it very interesting, It made me sad at times and I cried and at some passages in the book I laughed out laud, Its incredible how James and Bob the ginger cat met and bonded so deeply that they saved each others lives, In the book James is talking about openly and honestly about his dark days of his past, about his drug addiction and struggle to get clean, about his relationship with his family and few friends, his days living on the streets etc.
It opened my eyes what live is like for homeless people and how hard it is to live like this, But what I have most enjoyed reading about was when James was talking about his everyday live with him and Bob and what was like for them to work on the streets of London and how their life turned around in a positive way.
I also saw him once near Neal Street in London walking with Bob on his shoulders, It was such an unusual sight which I will never forget!
This is a real life story of hope, love and determination, . . James and Bob's story is fascinating and I truly believe that their destiny was to meet one another and inspire others to be kinder, more loving and understanding not only to homeless people but to animals and each other.
God bless you James and Bob!,
