Review:
The story of James and Bob is so amazing. James and Bob seemed like they needed each-other, and that's how it's always going to be. How James and Bob found each-other is brilliant, and it was so lovely of James to take care of Bob, even when he was struggling financially, and he was getting over drugs too. Some people say 'oh it's poorly written' and 'he repeats himself' can shut up, because this isn't a fiction book, this is real life and it's just James telling everyone his story. In this book, James talks a lot about the criticism he gets for taking Bob outside when he's a cat, and think that James is being cruel to Bob and James tries to explain that if Bob didn't want to be there, he'd leave, and that is how cats are. But going back to the book, it's amazing, I would recommend it to any animal lover.
