Synopsis
The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family in the making and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life.
John and Jenny 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—and their life would never be the same. Marley quickly grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound steamroller of a Labrador retriever who crashed through screen doors, flung drool on guests, stole women's undergarments, devoured couches and fine jewelry, and was expelled from obedience school. Yet Marley's heart was pure, and he remained a steadfast model of love and devotion for a growing family through pregnancy, birth, heartbreak, and joy, right to the inevitable goodbye.

11/12/2009: This is one of those books (movies/bands/restaurants) that you rebel against investigating simply because everybody says it's sooooo wonderfulllll. It had surprising depth however, complete with tear-jerker moments.

10/19/2009: "Marley and Me" is about a mischievous little puppy who grows up to be a heap of trouble named Marley. Basically, the author, John Grogan, is the owner of this dog, Marley, and he writs the dog's very own memoir, Obviously, this particular dog affected this family greatly, in good ways and bad, otherwise this book might not have been written. John Grogan writes about how Marley has ADD and ADHD, and the many problems he causes, but where there's a dog, there's got to be love. The authors attachment to his dog, Marley is tremendous. The dog's own attachment to his owner and their family is also huge. This story is hilarious, but touching; loving, yet heartbreaking. "Marley and Me" is a great book for young adults and adults. As this dog's life story progresses, you won't be able to put the book down, or the dog for that matter.
