Marley and Me is a delight. Although I'm a cat person, I love this book. Marley is a huge, goofy, big-hearted dog and his pure dog love for his family (and his odd ways) will touch you. I didn't expect to cry reading this but I couldn't help it. Don't miss this wonderful book about Marley written by his master.

Being a self-professed dog disliker, I put off reading Marley and Me until I bought it for my sister. Warning: don't be around anyone who makes fun of you when you cry for the last two chapters. What a fantastic book! What a NAUGHTY dog!!

Marley must be related to my dog because I found myself nodding and remembering and laughing. The author has a way with description.

This is an awesome book and I encourage all readers to read it. It made me cry at the end, but that does not mean it’s bad. It is one of my favorite books so far and the authors wording is just perfect. :)

Just adopted/rescued a 2-yr-old yellow lab 4 mos ago who has turned out to be a fantastic dog but cost us a few down pillows during the adjustment process. Any first-time lab owner will love the lab background, behaviors, and sentiment described in the book. Have tissues handy toward the end!

We just read this in my bookclub. I started the book laughing, then I was crying, then laughing again and ended in tears. This is exactly how a book should be. It will always stay with me.

John Grogan and his wife Jenny had been married less than two years when Jenny decided that they should get a puppy. After scanning the pets for sale section of the classifieds John and Jenny go to take a look at a litter of Labrador Retrievers. They fall in love with a male puppy and purchase him. When they bring him home their years of fun and craziness begin.

Two paws up for Marley and Me! No wonder this book has been on the Best Seller list for weeks. And, a fast and fascinating read, too. Even if you’re not a dog lover, you will find a message in Grogan’s prose. Marley’s overzealous passion for life has a lesson for all of us. Just get in there and enjoy every day, every aspect of life. Thanks Marley!

This book totally made me cry! It was so good. The movie did it justice in my opinion but the book was still better.
