author:  James Bowen 
description: *Starred Review* The authors Street Cat Named Bob (2012) climbed onto the New York Times best-seller list as it touched the hearts of cat lovers in not only the U.S. but also, prior to that, in Bowensand Bobsnative Britain. If you are unfamiliar with the previous book (and shame on you), the author was a London street musician and recovering drug addict when he stumbled upon an ill ginger tabby, whom he namedso perfectlyBob. He fixed Bob up, and they have been inseparable ever since. The remarkable aspect of their friendshipno, loveis that Bob accompanied Bowen most days on his street-playing gig, attracting considerable attention in his own right. Now comes a sequel to that beguiling book, and this human-feline team has not lost any of its extraordinariness. The primary focus in this second installment of the Bob story is the fame and fortune that came Bowens way in the wake of the spectacular success of the first book. But is Bob no longer as vital to Bowens life? Be serious. Bobs serenity has kept his now-famous owner grounded and aware of whats really important in life: the strength of love. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: The previous books popularity will guarantee the commercial success of the authors new one. --Brad Hooper
