 Awful example of animal abuse August 20, 2008
I cannot believe this book was a number one bestseller. The techniques used by Grogan and his idiot wife are downright abusive. This is a case of two selfish people who got a dog to fulfill their own needs. Worst of all they didn't do breed research and got a Lab, a dog that is high energy and needs a great deal of activity and exercise. The dumbasses then proceed to lock the poor thing in the garage and are surprised when the dog becomes neurotic and destructive. Locking an animal in a garage all day is cruel and inhumane treatment. It made me sick to hear Grogan describe kneeing the dog in the chest, using a choke chain til the poor thing gagged and finding his wife beating the dog with her fists. All those idiots had to do was start with basic obedience training from day one and give the poor dog the exercise it needed. Marley deserved a lot better, I hope he's in a better place now.
 Could not put it down August 18, 2008
I loved this book! This is a must read for any animal lover. John is an incredible writer and I can't wait to ready more of his work.
 Marley and Me BY: Melissa C. August 11, 2008
"Marley and Me" is an autobiography novel written by John Grogan. The author talks about his family's life during the thirteen years that they lived with their Labrador Retriever, Marley.
Marley wouldn't be considered the best dog, but Marley was their pride and joy. Marley, a ninety seven pound Labrador Retriever would always be running into screen doors, eating clothing, or anything he could get his teeth on. To guests that walked into the Grogan's home, they would be very scared by his size and how he acted. Even though Marley destroyed everything and didn't appeal to other people they still loved him.
The book shows you how much people love animals. Even though at times the Grogan family wanted to get rid of Marley. Marley would always make his way back into the family.
The book taught me many things. First, to always love your family. Even though at times Marley would cause many problems for the Grogan family, they still loved him. Second, to always take care of other people's property. Throughout the book, many of the problems were created because Marley destroyed the Grogan's house, love, and yard. Third, always be greatful for what you have. Even though the Gorgan's family wasn't perfect they always loved each other.
I would recommend this book to any animal lover. If you love learning, reading, and laughing about animals, this is the book for you. If I had to rate this book out of five I would rate it a four. At times in the book, it did get a little boring, but I think it is still worth reading.
BAD BAD DOG!! August 10, 2008
Marley and Me was a very funny book. I started reading it after seeing all the reviews on it. While reading this book, I started thinking about my own dog, (not a labrador) and how he was almost similar. 30% the naughtiness of Marley. This book makes me laugh and assures me that I am not alone! The only bad thing I have to say about this book is that I don't think there was a climax to the book. The book was pretty much leveled out. With small rises and falls for the characters.
Absolutely wonderful August 7, 2008
This is a book I kept seeing in the stores and passing by, and finally recently picked it up and read a few pages. Right then I was hooked. I took it home and read the entire thing that night. I laughed out loud, and I cried too with this book. It takes you on this entire journey with this hilarious and loving dog. I also have a yellow lab, so I related to this book also very much. They're definitely different, and Grogan really captures that with this book.
