Didn't wanna love it, but I DO! (2008-09-22)

I'm not really a fan of touchy feely smooshy books, so I was somewhat sceptical when I looked at the cover of this book my wife brought home. Then I started to read it, and was lost. I grew up with a German shepherd who failed obedience classes in three separate schools, the last of whom had a trainer who said of my dog, "Gosh, he's really stubborn, isn't he?" This book brought all of those times rushing back.My daughter had been begging me to get a dog for three solid years, week in and week out. I had steadfastly refused, remembering all of the trouble, cost, destruction, insanity, etc. Then I read this book. We now have a brand new German shepherd. My wife tells me that she has never seen me relaxed in the entire time she's known me. If you love dogs, this book is amazing. If you don't, this will probably fly right past you. Some people might criticize the way Marley is trained - some people will criticize anything - but this book is a true love affair.

One of my favorite books (2008-07-06)

I was skeptical when my coworker loaned me this book. She said every dog lover has a "Marley" in their past. But from the first page, I was hooked."Marley and Me" had me laughing out loud (in the strangest places) and crying shamelessly in others. This book is brilliantly written and flows seamlessly. I was lost for hours in this beautiful story that John Grogan brought to life for me.What am amazing tribute to man's best friend.I highly recommend this book to anyone - dog lover or not. You won't be sorry.

For anyone that has had a big pup, very easy to relate to! (2008-07-01)

If you love dogs, especially if you have them, then you need this book. We have a Great Dane and I could relate to this book so well. It allowed us to feel light hearted even when the frustration that was caused by our giant, full of life puppy almost drove us to tears. You will love this book even more if you have had a dog that acts like Marley in training class. Here's the scoop, like kids, dogs are not all the same-NOT ALL EASY TO TRAIN! It's natural..some are more energetic or rebelious. Your trainer will always tell you differently. Don't listen. (Once, I ran into my old dog trainer screaming at her dog because it wouldnt stay in the car)Happy reading.

better you then me (2008-06-11)

Oh my. If you are not a dog owner and are thinking about becoming one, read this book. Marley is a nightmare with a smile. He is the dog you see your neighbor being pull by on there evening walks. I don't remember laughing so hard I had to stop reading. My only request in my book reading life would be to find a book were the end is not the end of the dog. Love the book, love the dog. Very well put together. You will laugh yourself to the breeder to get your own Marley...good luck with that.

Marley, Marley, Marley... (2008-05-16)

This was one of the few books that made me cry. People who don't have dogs wonder how those of who do, can put up with their antics. This book shows all manner of antics, but it also shows how important one dog can become. You share in the joys, the sorrows, and the disagreements Marley brings. If you finish the book though, you can see how a dog can win your heart, and how you can put up with the antics.
