Product Description
John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Obedience school did no good - Marley was expelled. But just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley remained a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms.

 EVERYBODY LOVES MARLEY October 3, 2008
After reading so many crime novels, murder mysteries and chillers, I decided to purchase some "lite" reading for my daily three hour round trip commuter train ride. This book conjured up so many emotions it was at times impossible to contain myself. Anyone who has owned a dog for any amount of time can identify with this book. I have owned a Boxer named Max for the last 10 years and I can see Marley in him. John Grogan did an excellent job in writing about his relationship with his dog. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the antics of Marley and as I neared the final chapters I found myself getting a little "misty" eyed.... O.K....I cried. In part for John and Marley and in part for my own dopey, loveable and at times crazed Max. For me, any author who can bring out emotions in me, has a fan for life.I highly recommend this book for anyone who has yet to read it, who is thinking about owning a dog and for anyone who has a four legged best friend.

When I picked this up I wanted something fun and light as I knew I had a busy week. Well I couldn't put it down. It was everyday stuff but yet so heartwarming. It was the story of a dog but also of a growing family. It was a story of what is important in life and that moments won't last forever. It was a story of love and commitment and making your mark on someone's heart. Really enjoyed it.
Marley and Me September 24, 2008
I cannot believe that someone else has experienced what I have with my own crazy dogs. 'Marley and Me' has taken me back down so many wonderful roads. It has reminded me of the wonderful love of my pets and it reassured me that I can face the inevitable. As I write this, I am living life with my precious boxer, Moses, to the absolute fullest. Mose has just turned 12 and her health is slowly declining. Through the wonderful words of John Grogan, I am able to reflect and accept.
I'm sorry I did not pick it up sooner, but I know I chose it at this point in our lives for a special reason. Many thanks to Mr. Grogan and especially, Marley.
Marley and Me September 20, 2008
What a funny and heartwarming story. As a dog owner myself I can certainly relate to some of Marley's antics. I could not put this book down and I read very very few books.
I can't wait to see the movie which premieres Christmas Day.
