Summary

Best friends James Bowen and street cat Bob have been on a remarkable journey together. In the years since their story ended in Bob: No Ordinary Cat, James, with Bob's help, has begun to find his way in the world. Along with the adventures and the fun there have been tough times, too, but through moments of real danger and sometimes illness Bob has always been there as James' protector and guardian angel. For the Love of Bob is the incredible story of James and Bob's life-saving friendship, and the lessons James has learnt from his street-wise cat.

A little sentimental ...

... in writing style for my taste, but nevertheless a marvellous story about an astonishing feline and his man. One contradiction strikes me though; James speaks about his struggle with what he refers to as 'drugs', and how he finally left them behind, but mentions several times that he still drinks alcohol, apparently not considering it to be a drug. Given the important role which his addiction plays in this story, I think this should be made clearer: drug addiction is drug addiction, whether the drug concerned is legal and socially sanctioned or not.
