Journal Entry 2 by RedDahlia at Folkestone, Kent United Kingdom on Monday, October 30, 2017
Absolutely loved this book and it has really changed my opinion about street people and the Big Issue magazine which I have never bought or read in my life. I didn't even know it had to be bought first by the seller before it could be sold on. I never even gave it a thought. Sounds a hopeless task if everybody's like me!

Back to the book. I could really engage with James and thought he came across as a really nice guy with great empathy. Personally, I am more of a dog person and am not usually over keen on cats (especially when they mess in my garden!!!) but Bob sounds absolutely gorgeous. Almost human! I read the book very quickly, as couldn't put it down.

I even had to look him up on You Tube and viewed many of his subsequent interviews on the streets and on TV. I had never seen any of these before. Had vaguely heard of the book but because it was about a cat I wasn't interested. It was only a friend of mine in Melbourne who enthused about this book that prompted me to buy it about 5 months ago (along with the DVD of the film adaptation which I have yet to watch) and had only just got around to dusting it down off the shelf.

I have also now downloaded the sequel onto my kindle. A bargain at 99p!!!

I enjoyed the film so I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It really does help you understand what homelessness is really like. In fact, I changed my behaviour so that if anyone asks me for help, I at least look them in the eye, talk and smile. It’s so easy to dehumanise people.

The story is so full of hope. It’s a joy to read.

It’s now on its travels in the Easter 2024 RABCK
