Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog is a humorous and touching book by John Grogan about his thirteen years of life with his dog, Marley, a mischievous yellow labrador retriever. Marley is a high-strung and boisterous dog who would frequently get into trouble. Described as a 'great and memorable' pet by Grogan, Marley escapades would never fail to entertain and enthrall you throughout the book. Be ready to laugh and cry as you read through the book! (  )booklovergirl | Jul 8, 2009 |   An amazing story of life and love. I read this on my honeymoon. It is a story of starting your life together with someone. It is not just about a crazy dog but about decisions, bonds, hard times and love. You may laugh, but you will probably cry too. Most of all, you'll love it. And by the way, don't let Marley scare you. Even the craziest dogs are wonderful... ( )Cpassmore | Jun 12, 2009 | Such a heart-warming story! I gave this book to my mother, a few Christmases ago and she's been bugging me to read it ever since. She loved it and I loved it! If you're a dog lover, this story will definitely put a smile on your face. Grogan's writing style is humorous and entertaining. I'd recommend this to anyone and a MUST READ for dog owners. :) (  )touchthesky | Jun 2, 2009 | Awesome true tale of raising a rambunctious dog from pup to old dog.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060817089, Hardcover)
John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley quickly grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever, a dog like no other. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, flung drool on guests, stole women's undergarments, and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewelry. Obedience school did no good—Marley was expelled. Neither did the tranquilizers the veterinarian prescribed for him with the admonishment, "Don't hesitate to use these." And yet Marley's heart was pure. Just as he joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley shared the couple's joy at their first pregnancy, and their heartbreak over the miscarriage. He was there when babies finally arrived and when the screams of a seventeen-year-old stabbing victim pierced the night. Marley shut down a public beach and managed to land a role in a feature-length movie, always winning hearts as he made a mess of things. Through it all, he remained steadfast, a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans.
