Marley & Me - John Grogan
Originally Reviewed February 9, 2006:
Description:
Labrador retrievers are generally considered even-tempered, calm and reliable;and then there's Marley, the subject of this delightful tribute to one Lab who doesn't fit the mold. Grogan, a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and his wife, Jenny, were newly married and living in West Palm Beach when they decided that owning a dog would give them a foretaste of the parenthood they anticipated. Marley was a sweet, affectionate puppy who grew into a lovably naughty, hyperactive dog.
My Thoughts:
This is a great book that any animal lover (especially dog lovers) can relate to on some level. It's funny and touching and I've been telling everyone I know about Marley the dog. Definitely read with kleenex close by.
