Bob No Ordinary Cat by James Bowen

Post by reginabally »

5/5 stars.

I came across this part in the book that really touched me: "Seeing me with my cat softened me in people's eyes. It humanised me. Especially after I'd been so dehumanised. In some ways it was giving me back my identity. I had been a non-person. Now at last I was becoming a person again." This again reminds us that do not judge people based on their look or what they're doing, they might have other side of the stories that we do not know.

I'm also amazed by the change James decided to take for Bob from being an illegal busker to a legitimate Big Issue vendor. This pair became inseparable after all the comics, danger, adventures happened to them.

A really touching and inspiring story to read and I spent half day to finish it! It didn't happen to me for almost 20 years!
