Marley & Me


I just wanted to take a second to review the book Marley & Me. I read it this week and have about 2 chapters left. I couldn't bring myself to read the last chapters last night before I went to bed, because ultimately I know how it ends and I didn't want to cry myself to sleep :)


Perhaps it is because I am recently married and we have a year old labrador retriever that I enjoyed John Grogan’s story of life and love. Grogan takes you through the first fifteen years of his marriage by focusing on the events of their yellow lab, Marley. Overall, the story of the “world’s worst dog” was very enjoyable.


I wonder whether or not you need to be a dog lover to enjoy the book. I hesitate to say no, because it has a similar feel to Old Yeller or any other story focused around a dog.


The book caused me to laugh several times, and brought me to tears a couple of times and I know that the ending will for sure.


I'm excited to see the movie out this christmas....Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston -it looks like a good family movie.


I only hope that I get to enjoy 13+ years with my Lab - Dutchess.
