Book review: A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen
Tumblr media
My liveblog of the book.
Short review: I feel like this book could be read by 13 year olds in school.
Long review:
This is a biography about a man who was living off the streets of London who met a cat which changed his world for the better. The writing is clear and simple making it an easy and fairly quick read. It talks about life on the street, addiction and revovery, but without going into too much detail. Because of this I think the book would fit well into a schools reading curriculum for teenagers. It talks about a side of society I students might not be particularly familiar with but leave enough room for them to learn more about it. It's a biography/based on a real story so that also gives it a certain apeal not to mention it's an overall uplifting story with a happy end. Then there's a cat and everything is better with cats.
Rating: B

woo boy it's been awhile since ive done one of these. here's a review of a street cat named bob by someone who is completely unqualified to give a review (there's gonna be spoilers but like not many)
overall: 8/10 basically guy is down on his luck, stray cat decides he's his human, and things start going up. based on a true story. this movie stressed me out repeatedly but like in a good way. also the cat was cute
cinematography: 7/10 pretty neat camera work! the shots from the cat's pov could be pretty disorienting which wasn't fun but that also was the point of those shots. the withdrawal scene also had really interest camera and color work
soundtrack: 9/10 very good soundtrack, really set the tone for the scenes. the acoustic stuff was also pretty good, just not my favorite genre
acting: 9/10 also pretty good, the characters all seemed pretty believable and well acted. 11/10 for the cat
characters: ok so this one's a little different just cause it's based on a real story so im not gonna rate it. what i will say is that the way the characters were portrayed in the movie was very well done, both in writing and in acting
plot: again, different since it's based on a real story. the way it's was put to screen was very tight and never seemed to stray (hehe) from the main point. well done
if you would like to watch the movie, here are some trigger warnings: drug use (discussed and shown), overdose, death due to overdose, vomiting, detailed withdrawal scene, others that i may not be thinking of (feel free to lmk if there's any i should add)

A STREET CAT NAMED BOB
A STREET CAT NAMED BOB
James Bowen
2012 book
I finished reading this book about a recovering drug addict who is a busker and is in the process of getting back on his feet. He starts selling The Big Issue which is a magazine that the homeless sell to earn money for themselves. Was Bowen on welfare payments? and why not? I don’t believe he addressed why he wasn’t getting financial help from the government. Today Bowen is helping the homeless and those who have fallen on hard times.
            The star of this book is Bob the cat, who was a stray who Bowen found hanging around his apartment block. Bowen took Bob in and they both helped one another. Bowen takes Bob busking which helped him attract more attention and got him more money. There were a few times when Bob got spooked and ran away which placed him in danger of getting hit by a vehicle. There is a video of Bowen and Bob busking online and he was sitting close to the traffic which was concerning.  
            This is an easy read and you could easily get through it in just a few days (or less). The best thing is that there is no sad ending. There’s also a film (2016) where Bob plays himself.
[Old book review]

Chapter 21
James finds out that people have filmed Bob and put it up on youtube. This video then went viral and he became a kind of celebrity which eventually resulted with this book.
The book ends with a reflection from James of how much his life changed for the better thanks to Bob. It's a sweet ending.
