- If you truly love this book, don't get a dog!
The most disturbing information is why these clods picked a labrador retriever.I wonder if they did more research about having kids than they did in selecting a labrador retriever.It's true that labrador retrievers are the most popular dog in the United States.They are also the SECOND MOST EUTHANIZED dog due to idiots like this.So many labs show up at shelters that the sheer numbers cause them to be labeled "unadoptable", even for many no-kill shelters.People get labs only to "discover" ...

Rating: - Wow that made me mad!
I was told several times that this was a good book but having suffered the loss of a childhood dog/best friend, I could not bring myself to read it. (Why bring up sad memories, right?) But after 2 years I caved and bought it as the movie is releasing soon, I decided I would prefer to read the book first.
I read the book in a day, laughing through the first half and thinking Mr. Grogan was a witty person. Marley's antic's had me doubled over in laughter, all the wile remembering all the silly ... Read More
Rating: - Should be subtitled "World's Worst Owners"
I am really saddened to see that the author is profiting over what amounts to me as neglect of poor Marley; and even more saddened that such a large segment of our society seems to think that this kind of treatment is ok.I have 2 Golden Retrievers, including one who is quite similar in personality to Marley based on my reading of the book, and I would never, never, never fathom locking them up in my garage, or leaving them alone for as long as Marley was left alone while they worked.It is our duty ...

Rating: - Just plain BORING!!!
Forgetting about what you think of the Grogans' pet care style, this is a bad book because it's poorly written and boring as hell after the first 50 pages. It's predictable, too long, and has essentially NO PLOT. Without spoiling what little thread there is, the book is more like a series of diary entries in the 13 years of Marley's life in the Grogan family. The fact that it is a book much more about the Grogans than Marley would be acceptable if it were interesting, but it's NOT.
And for heaven's ... Read More

- A woman's best friend too
I read this book almost a year ago and am still in love with it.My in-laws bought the book and offered it to my husband and me to read.They all kept saying how much they enjoyed it and encouraged me to also read it.Reluctantly, I agreed.My Marley (Izzy, a then 15 year old Dachshund-Poodle mix) was not doing so great health-wise and I did not want to think about saying goodbye to her.I gave in and read it anyway and fell in love with that Marley.Perhaps reading it was a good thing because I had ...
