If you are a dog lover, READ THIS BOOK!! (By John Grogan)

It is so funny and touching. :goodvibes :goodvibes
 
I loved this book!!! I went through so many emotions while reading it; crying, laughing, etc. It also reminded me so much of our Lab Jake and my brothers dog Tucker. It's by far the best book I've read in a long time!
 

I loved it. I was in the middle of it when my grandma's dog died. My grandma got her a month before I was born, so I grew up with her and she was as much my dog as my grandma's. After I finished, I gave the book to my grandma to read. She read the first chapter and said "I don't want to read this, I thought it was about the guy's dog when he was a kid but that dog died. What do I want to read about a dead dog for?" I told her to keep reading it. What does she do? She picks it up and starts reading about 3/4 of the way through where Marley dies. Then she tells me "The dog dies, thats too sad, I don't want to read it." I'm still trying to convince her to just read it from start to finish 5 months later.
 
I guess you CAN judge a book by the cover because the cover of that book is PRECIOUS! :cloud9:
 
Just finished reading it yesterday. I agree, Marley and Me is a must read book!
 
I finished the book on a flight out to San Francisco. Well, the last 20 minutes of the book (and the flight) I was WEEPING! :rotfl: My shoulders were hitching up and down and my breath was all jaggedy. Snot was flowing freely from my nose and of course I didn't have a tissue. :rotfl2:

I couldn't get myself together, and yet...I couldn't stop reading! God, I was so embarrassed, and the guy next to me kept giving me funny looks. :rolleyes: I kept angling myself closer and closer to the window so I could enjoy my cry in peace.
 
This was my "bedtime book" last month. I would read it to help ease me into dreamland. Instead of dreamland I devoured half of it the first night. Twice I woke up dh laughing so hard. And yes, the tears flowed freely! A must read for owners of Retriever's in paticular. Check out http://www.marleyandme.com a whole forum dedicated to the world's worst dogs. :thumbsup2
 
It is wonderful! I have about 25% left to go, and I don't want it to end. Laugh out loud funny for dog lovers.
 
I can't read it because I know it is too sad.

But, John Grogan used to live in Boca Raton and write a weekly column for the Sun Sentinel. His articles were so funny and priceless!! I cut out a few to save and still have them. He HAD to be a close neighbor because he sure knew Boca! :rotfl2:
 
I just started it last night. It's been unbelievably long since I laughed out loud at a book. I couldn't stop giggling and I couldn't stop reading. I live with a mini Marley! Definite must read!!!!
 
I loved it! I can really relate because I have a yellow lab just like Marley...but she's worth her weight in gold. Just like Marley :thumbsup2
 
I read it last December and I laughed the whole time.... ALMOST :sad1:

In some weird way it inspired me to get a dog.... Well.... as luck would have it... he turned out just like Marley! :) You know the whole dog obedience class part? That's my dog! Eating everything in sight and watching it come out the next day.... that's my dog!

I'm going to write a book now, too!


It's one of the funniest books I have read in a long time! A MUST read for anyone who hasn't yet read it!
