Great memoir about a crazy but lovable dog...I cried my eyes out...
I read this in my 7th grade study hall blocks back when it first came out and had to give myself 10 minutes before the bell rang everyday so I could stop crying and wouldn't look so red and puffy for my next class. Purposely refused to see the movie because I don't think Jennifer Anniston and Owen Wilson would ever do my emotions justice.
This book just broke me, I'm a pile of goo on the ground from the crying! Review maybe on blog if I can stop crying!
Everything a dog lover could ask for. The writing is light and funny when talking about Marley and his crazy antics, and deep and meaningful when Grogan considers Marley's impact on the family life. Beautifully written - a story for every dog lover out there, I'm serious. You will not be disappointed.
I couldn't help it. I, along with all the 40-year-old women who also loved this book, cried like a baby. I'm pretty sure that if you've ever had a dog, you'd do the same. Some people might call this a book for the sentimental masses, and I would call those people uptight.
On another note, it's a quick and engaging read. The author is a newspaper columnist, and it just feels like a collection of interesting columns about his horribly behaved pet - easy to get through in just a couple hours.

Wow. I listened to this book on audio cd, and as a dog lover, I understood so much about the love of a dog. I also knew how the book was going to end, because I've been through that part of it, too. I cried, of course. I also listened to this book as we learned about the health of our expected baby (he will need surgery after he's born), and I was really affected. It also made me want to get a puppy more than ever. (But not a lab or retriever, a sheltie, as I grew up with shelties, the best dogs ever!)
Grogan did an amazing job on this book, over the course of it I felt like Marley was my own dog. I can't believe it took me this long to read this book, as a die-hard, bleeding heart animal lover. I can't wait for the movie.
I laughed, I cried, sometimes I laughed so hard that I cried. It reminds me of why I can't wait to get a dog again (and makes me question that desire)...at the end of the day it reminds me of why animals touch the heart so much, the unconditional love that they have for their humans is unlike any other love in our lives.
RIP Marley

LOVED!!!!!!! Laughed, cried! Love the movie, came into this expecting not to like this as much. Loved it just as much as the movie, maybe more. Charming, funny, cute, and of course devastating at the end. A must read for dog lovers!
I listened to this audiobook probably at least 25 times through when I was in school. It fit on my MP3 player and I would listen to it as I fell asleep.
Love Marley
Any dog lover will love this book! Especially those who have had a dog just like Marley! Definitely a great read!
