A street cat named Bob.

A street cat named Bob- James Bowen Review

This book tells the heart warming true story of recovering drug addict, James Bowen, and the intelligent ginger tom he finds injured in the hallway of his sheltered accommodation. James tells the story of how he took the ginger tom in and nursed him back to health and quickly christens him Bob. James wonders where this unique, intelligent tom comes from and tries to let him out on the back of streets of London. However Bob has other ideas and quickly Bob and James become a team when busking on streets of London.

This story will definitely make you smile but unfortunately doesn't really keep you that interested as the book seems quite repetitive and poorly written, I felt this book was slightly tedious.

Overall this is a lovely heart warming story but due to the lack of excitement and interest I am only going to rate this two out of five stars.

Pandemonium- Lauren Oliver

Pandemonium Review


Did delirium leave you lost for words and begging for more? Well it sure did me. Pandemonium the 2nd book of the Delirium trilogy continues Lena's story with alternating chapters going from then and now.

The then chapters tell the story of Lena's new life and battle for survival in the wilds where there is a shortage of supplies and day by day the whether is getting colder and colder and her group has to battle their way up north. However this does not come as easily as there are more attacks from the other side and people are becoming ill.

In the now chapters it tells the story of Lena's first mission of being part of the resistance however she does not know the full plan and clueless when she finds her self as a prisoner with the leader of the DFA, Julian and has to find a way to escape.

I loved this book as every single page kept me reading. There is so much suspense and so much mystery through out this as there are so many questions to be answered. However what I don't like about this book is the way the chapters are laid out as some are only a few pages long and others are sixty pages long so at times it could be a bit tedious to read. Despite this I think this book is amazing and the way Oliver rights this and creates suspense I can guarantee that you wouldn't be able to put this book down.


4 star rating. Great book but not as good as Delirium.

From an early age John and his family were abused by his coward of a father. This was up until the age of thirteen when his father went to far and John had to stand up for his grandma.
