 A must-read for anyone whose ever owned a dog... May 27, 2008
This book is definitely for dog lovers. Only a person who has (or has had) a dog can understand this book as it tells of a young couple's bond with their dog as they grow older and then start a family. A person who isn't a dog lover won't get this book, which is a shame because it's a touching story. I couldn't put it down! WARNING: keep tissues nearby!
I am in Awe! May 21, 2008
I can't even think about this book without crying!! I have never cried at a book in my life . . . until "Marley and Me." I get tears in my eyes even when I speak of this book to anyone. Amazing! Oh yeah . . . I laughed my head off a lot throughout it as well. This book brings out emotions in people who aren't even dog lovers!!
Great kids book May 21, 2008
Bought for my daughter. This is a great book, especially if you have a dog.
Life and Love of Dogs May 18, 2008
I thorough enjoyed reading Marley and Me. Josh Grogan has a warm engaging writing style and brings us into his family. He shares with us very tender moments and hilarious antics.
I laughed outloud while reading this book and I am not one to do that. I also cried openly at times. If you are a dog lover, you will be able to relate to the stories of Marley.
While Josh Grogan is the not the shining example of dog ownership and how to handle specific dog behavior problems, you can tell that he really did love his dog and usually had his best interest at heart. Although I must say I have to question his motives when he returns from Disneyworld and fails to rush to his beloved pets side as he is near death. I know from my personal experience that nothing could have kept me away from my dog at a time like that.
All in all I would recommend this book as a quick read that that will bring enjoyment, laughs and tears.
I don't like nonfiction May 16, 2008
I just finished this book and can say all the bad reviews, you people just have it wrong. This is a great read about John and Jennie's life with Marley. I laughed and cried through this entire book. Marley is quite something. His fear of thunderstorms didn't suprise me. I had a dog as a kid with this same kind of fear. He was afraid of hot-air balloons in the same way too. My heart was in my throat when he was comforting Jennie. He was a gentle giant with his "siblings". And his last days were very hard for me to read through the tears. I've had a couple dogs in my life and it never gets easier. If you love dogs, recognize the author is human, understand some dogs are highstrung, and you want to laugh and cry this is the book for you. It's a easy read and fast too. I'll defiantly keep this on my bookshelf. For someone who just isn't interested in nonfiction works, I took a chance on Marley & Me and I'm sure glad I did. Please read it.
