Marley and Me: Life and love with the world's worst dog — by — John Grogan — Marley and Me is a book that has been around for a few years and I just have never got around to reading.  When it was given to me by a friend who said it was a quick and easy read, I decided to dive in. As a proud owner of a loving, howling Beagle and rambunctious Puggle, I was excited to read the misadventures of another dog owner and his beloved friend. — John Grogan recalls many years with his great friend Marley, a yellow lab who is the most adorable, quirky  dog ever! … read full review »

Dogs can cause both grief and happiness and one dog lover who knows what it's like to live life on the edge is author John Grogan. He spent many years with a large yellow Labrador Retriever that disobeyed all commands and made a complete mess out of anything within his reach and even several things out of his reach. He had so much to say that he wrote a book about his experience. It is called Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog, a book about a man, his family, and the out- of- control canine beast that occupied their homes and hearts for more than a decade. — —… read full review »

I am the type of person who has to really "get into" a book to enjoy it.  It has to be one of the books I just can't put down or else it bores me to tears. This book was excellent! It is both a comedy and a tear-jerker. It will help you get into check with your emotions. You will be in love with the dog, Marley in no time. The author is excellent at setting up the scene and describing the surroundings so you feel like you are there. You will not be able to put this book down and you'll finish it in no time. You will not be sorry you read Marley and Me!! —… read full review »

this book was wonderful from beginning to end.  my husband's mom actually bought it for him, but i read it first.  i loved it so much, and have read it again already.  when you have pets in the family, you always notice the quirky (there's no other word for it) things they do.  we started letting my dog Sam drink water out of the faucet from the bath tub, and now Sam will stand there waiting for you to turn on the faucet so he can get a drink...completely ignoring the water bowl that is full.  we've had him for over two years, and i read this book about half a year… read full review »

One of the greatest books I have ever read.  Marley and Me will take you inside the relationship of a family and it's dog.  More so, the owner and his dog.  It will bring you the highs and lows of love, ownership, and fun living.  It will r bring you to tears.  If you or anyone you know owns (and loves) a dog or other animal, this book is a must read. — — Marley and Me carries you from single, dating puppyhood to married with kids dog ownership to saying goodbye to an old friend.  Fantastically and vividly written, you feel like you are there,… read full review »

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST HEART WARMING AND BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ. I COULD RELATE AS BEING A ANIMAL LOVER AND IT MADE ME FEEL EVERY EMOTION. IT MADE ME LAUGH IT MADE ME CRY AND TO ME YOU CANT ASK FOR A BETTER BOOK THEN THAT. I FELT LIKE IT TAUGHT YOU LIFE LESSONS AND THAT IT MADE ME SIT BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE. IT WAS EASY READING EXCELLENT TO FOLLOW AND HIS DESCRIPTION OF THE CHARACTERS WAS SO GOOD. THE BOOK MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS PART OF HIS FAMILY AND WAS RIGHT THERE. I LIKED IT SO WELL THAT I BOUGHT SEVERAL COPIES AND GAVE THEM TO MY ANIMAL FRIEND… read full review »
