Dog lover or not, you will be charmed by this book, which covers all the emotions from joy to sorrow, but mostly disbelief: how could a family actually endure all the antics of that dog? I found the writing to be delightful and often funny, after all, the author is a columnist by profession. A quick, entertaining read.

S.Elliott, May 5, 2007 (view all comments by S.Elliott)
So, here's the deal: the prose isn't all that well-written, Grogan's not a really "funny" writer (and there were so many places for funny moments to shine -- he failed here), and there are moments where I lost interest in the story of the family, because I just wanted to read about the dog. There is very little literary merit here.

BUT anyone who has ever had a dog will really get wrapped up in the love story between man and dog and family. I just loved Marley. I read the book at night with my own dog sitting near my lap and it really made me appreciate how wonderful a dog can be in the life of a family.

I did cry, because when you're done (and you know how this story will end...come on) you suffer the pain of losing a beloved pet right along with Grogan.

Read it if you're a dog owner. You can read it quickly and devour the love in 24 hours.
