kurfsec 's review for:

Marley and Me by John Grogan

3.0

---

I was a little disappointed after reading this book. I heard wonderful things about it, and was determined to read it before watching the movie (which I haven't as of yet). Being a dog owner/lover myself, I thought I would be able to identify with Marley and his owner and say "oooh yeah, my dog has done that" or "yep! they always do that". That didn't happen at all! Marley's adventures seemed so unique to me that I couldn't even relate at all. Nonetheless, it was a very touching story about the simple pleasures a rambunctious pet can bring to your life!
