    About this audiobook

    'Since Bob has appeared, I've made huge strides in my life. For more than a decade I was a homeless drug addict. I was lost to the world and had forgotten what was important in life. Now I've got myself back on my two feet, but as I put the past behind me, I'm still stepping unsteadily into the future. I still need help in the right direction. Bob is always there to offer guidance and friendship.' 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 the many ways in which Bob has been his protector and guardian angel through times of illness, hardship, even life-threatening danger. As they high five together for their crowds of admirers, James knows that the tricks he's taught Bob are nothing compared to the lessons he's learnt from his street-wise cat.

      Was at the library taking back the first book about Bob, and lo and behold, on the new books shelf there is another book about Bob. Much like the first, although I didn't enjoy reading about James' hospital visit [blood stuff and I don't always do well].
    • 5/5
      I don't typically read sequels, but I enjoyed James Bowen's first book, A Street Cat Named Bob so much that I couldn't wait for the second, The World According to Bob to come out. When it finally did, I devoured it in two days.The second book is a lot like the first, but I found a certain added poignancy in The World According to Bob. In the first book, Bowen was a man who had nothing, and therefore, as Bob Dylan famously sung, had nothing to lose. In the second book, Bowen realizes the extent to which he and Bob depend on each other. When outside forces threaten to tear them apart, as happens a few times in the narrative, I felt Bowen's anxiety along with him. Fortunately, this uplifting book, like its predecessor, ends happily.Highly recommended for all Bob fans!

      I received an ARC through Goodreads.

      Before I read this book I didn't know about Bob the cat. But now that I have read this book, I want to know more and follow Bob and James' stories and adventures throughout London.

      Bob certainly is an interesting cat. I love reading Bob and James' adventures and stories about daily life on the streets of London.

      It's truly inspirational how Bob inspired James to become a much better person and the friendship between them is so pure and loving. There is never any doubt that animals are intelligent and are our friend and companion.

      This was a very easy and interesting read. You are quickly tugged into their world and try as you might you are eager to find out whats next that you won't want to put the book down.

      Overall, a good read.
    • 5/5
      The continuing adventures of two lost souls in London. Although a bit lacks the freshness of the previous book still an inspirational and uplifting read about how a man saved a cat's life and how that ginger cat saved his... Highly recommended!
    • 5/5
      A beautiful story. Together with A street cat named Bob, it gives insight, not only on a wonderful cat, but on the life of a remarkable young man and his journey through homelessness and drugs into the life he aimed for, aided and supported by his great friend, Bob.

      I so enjoyed learning what happened next in the lives of this lovable duo❣️
    • 3/5
      Auch in diesem Buch geht es darum, wie der Kater Bob das Leben von James verändert. Das Buch deckt die Zeit zwischen dem ersten Teil und der Veröffentlichung des Buches ab. Es werden viele Episoden erzählt, die verdeutlichen wie James lebt, welche Schwierigkeiten er hat und wie auch vermeintlich ganz normale Dinge (Arztbesuch) extrem schwierig für ihn sind. Bob ist eine so große Unterstützung, dass man sich unweigerlich fragt, wie es für James weitergehen wird, wenn Bob einmal nicht mehr da sein wird. Ich finde das Buch sehr authentisch. Der Ghostwriter trifft die Stimme, die Probleme und Hoffnungen James´ wirklich gut. So wird auch für „Normalsterbliche“ deutlich, wie es den Menschen geht, die Straßenmusik machen und die Straßenzeitung verkaufen. Und die Geschichte selbst ist natürlich einfach ein Wunder.
