it's a great thing to collect, i love dragons so it's a awesome part of my collection

I had this book recommended to me by several people and finally bought it and read it. It is not as good as its fans want you to believe; nor as bad as its detractors would make it out.

First, the book is adequately written, but is not going to make anybody's top 100 list. It shoul

This little bottle would have been a bargain at 10 times the price. My wife's 2003 Chrysler Town and Country had been plagued with a noisy growling power steering system for months. It had been getting worse and worse. She finally took it to the dealer and the only recommendation they had was a n

Absolutely wonderful
8/7/2008
This is a book I kept seeing in the stores and passing by, and finally recently picked it up and read a few pages. Right then I was hooked. I took it home and read the entire thing that night. I laughed out loud, and I cried too with this book. It takes you on this entire journey with this hilarious and loving dog. I also have a yellow lab, so I related to this book also very much. They're definitely different, and Grogan really captures that with this book.

For the young at heart
8/6/2008
I thoroughly enjoyed reading John Grogans thoughtful book! What a treasure it is when an author manages to inspire, engage, and enlighten their reader all in one writing. You'll have a constant tickle in your throat, whether from giggling one page reading about Marleys salt-water antics, or tearing up on the next reading about the challenges jenny faced. No matter which way you cut it, it is a book you won't want to put down, and you'll be a better person because of it. In the end grogan reminds us of the resilliance of the human spirit. Even while penning memories with the 'worlds worst dog' he laces them with humor, understanding, and warmth of the love of a friend. The reviews were right, it would truly take a heart of stone to resist Marley and Me.

P.S. - For those who are sentimental-- would reccomend not reading in public, in the last third of the book, once the tears start they won't stop!

INCREDIBLE BOOK (with one reserve...)
8/6/2008
Reading this book, there's little doubt in my mind why its become a #1 best seller...
Because its cute, funny, poignant, heartwarming, engaging... and is written in a really smooth page-turner/chuckle out loud style...
And how can any book go wrong with a goofy bucket of mischief and drool as its key character?
I really mean it...
and a book I could see being made into an HBO movie...
I have severe ADHD... yet managed to get half way through before... realizing that my own dog was wreaking some havoc of his own.
Most interestingly, my own dog is the polar opposite of Marley... well trained/well behaved... affectionate, yet quite reserved compared to Marley... in addition, mine is a 3.5 kg. toy poodle, whereas Marley was a 100 lb. lab (I love watching labs play at the dog parks... they definitely epitomize the word "silly"!)
While reading this book, however, I couldn't help but feel jealous... Why is my dog so GOOD... why can't he stir up a little fun by rebel rousing now and then. (Oh, because he knows if he goes in the bathroom and goes anywhere near the toilet role he's gonna get it!)
All this said, a number of reviewers have give the book one star rating because of concern for the message...
I personally have issues with a lot of the training methods, however, this book is a narrative about a young couple, their new family, and the role of a very exuberant dog as they faced many of the day to day life cycle challenges and experiences that many of us do as well... It is not meant to be a training manual...
If, however, you're looking for "role model" owners, my advice is: emulate their love ONLY, but get your hands on some real books on dog training and behavior... (I personally am biased towards Ian Dunbar, Jean Donadlson, Patricia McConnell - - I also like Cys Frankel's book on raising a dog in the city...)
Even if ideologically speaking you're on the "other side" of the great "all positive" vs. "dominance/obedience" training divide, even Cesar Milan would have a message for you: about owners being RESPONSIBLE for the behavior of their dog...
That said... this is a really real funny, engaging and heartwarming book who's charm is guaranteed to work on virtually any self confessed (or in the closet) dog lover.
The read is not too "heavy" - - though not without its poignant moments.
A classic that I suspect will be on various reading lists for years to come!
