Most of this book was enjoyable, although it did start with a recap of what happened in the previous book, for the benefit of anyone who didn't read it I found this a bit annoying as I was keen to read a new story about James and Bob. The book does not forget about James' past though, and the fifth chapter contains a harrowing account of an addict dying from a heroin overdose. It felt a bit more like a series of anecdotes than the last one, as each chapter takes a separate subject, mostly talking about what James likes about Bob and bizarre things that have happened to them for example, in one entertaining chapter, Bob is at a friend's flat and James finds him out on the roof his attempts to get him back almost see him getting stuck himself. This book picks up where the original left off and tells of James and Bobs' lives up until March 2012, when A Street Cat Named Bob was first sold in the shops. I first found out about this book in a magazine that, somewhat unfairly, slammed the book before it had even been published. This is the sequel to last year's popular book, A Street Cat Named Bob, in which James Bowen talked about how the stray cat he found helped him turn his life around and quit his drug addiction.
