Marley & Me - The Book
|
|
| I've read it also, and really enjoyed it.
Not to long ago there was a post about reading books, and I posted the title there, but I don't think anyone noticed. |
| I've never heard of it... is it a children's book? A novel? |
| It's a book for adults although kids could read it as well - definitely PG material.
This is a review off of Amazon.com: I just finished Marley and Me last night. I picked it up last weekend at Barnes & Noble as I was walking near the magazines. The adorable photo on the cover caught my eye....they had a display of the book out in the open. Being an avid animal and dog lover, I couldn't pass it up. Needless to say, I devoured the book in two days. I loved it. To me it was so refreshing to see such commitment in another dog owner. I have always believed that when you adopt a pet it should be part of the family, and it is a lifelong commitment. You don't give up and get rid of them, just because of hard times or problems. I applaud Mr. Grogan, and his family, for being the kind of people who love and care for their dog friends and for writing such a heartfelt tribute to his pal, Marley. Pets ask for so little and return so much. I have had many dogs and I always get a kick out of the commercial on TV for a new ziplock dogfood bag for a certain chow...they use the expression "Dogs Rule". How perfect. There is nothing quite like having a dog, whether they have impeccable manners or not. I laughed and I cried and I understood everything that Mr. Grogan had to say. I also live in Florida so I felt a special connection to the Grogans when they were speaking of the culture here and the thunderstorms--and how dogs hate them. All in all, Mr. Grogan's writing is clear and interesting and down to earth. I couldn't put the book down. It is a joy. I even went so far and to visit the website he has listed in the book. There was an email address to write to him, which I did, and I was absolutely amazed when Mr. Grogan wrote back to me three hours later to thank me for my nice comments. Do yourself a favor and read the book.....you'll close it in the end and your heart will feel like it is too large to fit inside your chest. |
| I have been meaning to pick up this book.
I didn't get it the last time I saw it at Walmart. Then went to get it a few days later and it was gone. |
| This book is great. It is really well written and it had me laughing and tearing up a few times! |
This book is hilarious... I read it several months ago. Definitely a book for dog people...which is all of us  |
| I added a link to the book on Amazon.com.

| We bought the audio (because we'd never get around to reading it). Ironically, we haven't listened to it yet either, but we will the next time we travel. We like listening to audio books when we go anywhere!
I have heard SO many good things about that book from all my friends! |
| Yeah, I read it this summer and HIGHLY recommend it! |
sounds good, I just ordered it  |
| Marley and Me just arrived today and I'm really enjoying it
As a child way back in the late 40s my favorite book was Beautiful Joe a story about an abused dog with a happy ending . I read that book so many times and each time cried buckets. |
| The author is going to be on Cesar Millan tonight. |
| Oh, I loved Marley & Me! What a wonderful book.
I bought it as a gift for my mom last year when she thought she wanted a yellow lab. I think Marley may have helped change her mind. Highly recommend it. It's an easy read and quite funny/heartwarming. Anyone who is a Stuart Mclean (Vinyl Cafe) fan would love it. Anyone who enjoyed Marley & Me would also enjoy Vinyl Cafe Stories. |
