    Finished the book on the plane. Cats are amazing.

    Nae too sure on the boy though. He was a junky waster who didnt want to get a job at the end of the day and still didnt when he found Bob. He usedbBob to get his money instead of getting an actual job which he never bothered his arse doing in the first place.He got lucky he got offered the book deal.Thats my take.

    Bob sounds amazing though

    Film when i get home

    He loved the cat though that's very important also have to say he may have been a junky and unemployed but he wasn't without problems. Which I suppose didn't help it's also good to see he's out there helping others who are in the same position he was.
    There's loads of good in the young man.
    I've loads of praise for him . It's not what you once we're it's what you are now.

    Watched the film on the plane last night. Completely different to the book

    For starters pretty significant things in the film are falsified. Betty is made up, all the **** with his dad is made up as his dad lived in Nottingham and theres a bit about meeting him in Nottingham for a coffee, it was an old cat lady who suggested the free vet in the first place and be got alot of advice from her, yet she doesnt make the film.The one detail that annoyed me the most was Bob was always with him at the drug counciller in the film. He makes a big deal in the book a few times that he would never bring Bob there as he didnt want Bob to have anything to do with his sh@t old life he was trying to eradicate

    Alot was real, the woman with the scarvesfor Bob, the bus journeys, the woman asking to buy Bob and him replying about her kid, banned from busking, getting into trouble from big issue (but he didnt get a month suspension in the book). But there was a large amount of Braveheart type truth bends

    I like Bob though and its good to see Bob was actually played by Bob

    The guy is a very lucky man to land on his feet the way he did though. Hes a junkie who had no intention of ever trying to find a job and is now rich because of his cat
