The last time I read a book for me has been more than a year ago. Not that I have given up on reading altogether; I tried, but it had seemed impossible to try to finish a book when you have to run a household with 2 kids! The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo has been on my bedside table for more than a year now, and I still have not gone past page 102…

Anyhow. Silver Bullet had picked up “A Street Cat Named Bob” on one of his travels and there were only 2 reasons why I had attempted to read it:

• There’s a cat story in there
•  Silver Bullet said it was an easy read. He tends to be a very, very slow reader, yet he finished reading it in a few hours while in transit.(very promising!)

A Street Cat Named Bob is based on a true story on how one man found and his cat found hope (and each other) in the streets. James Bowen, a street musician who was once a homeless man,  had turned into one of the bestselling authors on how his cat had saved him from drugs. He had his first “debut” in YouTube when somebody posted up a video of him and his cat while he was busking. In fact, if you search in YouTube, there are several videos in there about the cat and the street musician.
