 One crazy canine October 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I absolutely loved "Marley & Me," which is the story of author John Grogan's relationship with his crazy yellow Labrador retriever, Marley. John and his wife, Jenny, adopted Marley soon after they got married. They had no idea that their cute, cuddly puppy dog would grow up to be such a rambunctious, out of control animal. To say that Marley is a handful is an understatement. He's wild, rowdy, destructive, and doesn't know his own strength. Marley doesn't listen to anyone and causes thousands of dollars in damage to the Grogan home over the years. However, despite his antics, Marley is also the most loveable and loyal friend and companion anyone could ask for, and he's a core member of the Grogan family for many years.
Sadly, dogs don't live forever, and the final chapters of this book had me weeping uncontrollably. Anyone who's ever loved a pet will be able to relate to this book. I suggest splurging on the illustrated edition, which features numerous Grogan family photos that really enhance the story and bring Marley's colorful personality to life. "Marley & Me" is a fantastic book about unconditional love and true friendship, and I highly recommend it.
Laugh until you Cry October 27, 2008
I read Marly & Me just because I love my own dog, even though she's not a lab. Mr. Grogan made me laugh outloud so many times, in this book. With that, I also knew I'd probably end up crying outloud too, which I did. To live with, care for, and love a dog, even one as unique as Marley, was so poignantly portrayed in this book. I was deeply touched. Wonderful, wonderful read!
Heartwarming! October 24, 2008
This book "Marley and Me", was wonderful and very heartwarming. So many funny antics, that only a cute, adorable dog like Marley could get away with. It was an easy and enjoyable read. I look forward to the movie which opens Christmas day.

I really enjoyed the book. We recently got a very active golden retriever puppy and after reading about Marley I realized that Cosmo wasn't that bad after all!!!!
Loving a Lab is not always easy! October 23, 2008
This book was given to me as a joke really. Afterall, I have the world's worst dog! Marley & Me is a MUST for any dog lover, especially if you have ever owned a Lab. I laughed aloud many, many times throughout this book, and found it very hard to put down. A wonderful story of love, frustration, and man's best friend. A great gift!
