Book Reviews of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog
Book Review: Dog Owner's Must Read
Summary: 4 Stars
John Grogan brought to life the idea of inexperienced pet owners walking blindly into owning a dog. We all like to play and cuddle with a cute little puppy, but when the puppy gets to be bigger these same antics aren't so cute anymore. This is when the real time and effort needs to be brought on for the owner and pet. Like a child, without our guidance they will never be "the perfect dog".
I trully enjoyed reading the story and later watching the movie version of the book. I think a lot of people put themselves into the mind set that if they can raise a dog and not kill it (like so many of us do with our house plants) then our future children have a chance. The book has a great storyline and one can really empathize with the characters. The life span of a dog is anywhere from 8-18 years and they really become a very important part of our lives. Thanks John for sharing one families story with us.
This book is written for adults, but can easily be shared with children as young as eleven or twelve. My daughter plans to read it next and I expect to have a lot of talks with her about it as she gets through the various chapters. That is one great thing about a good book, it helps to bring out conversation and can help reinforce the bond between people with similar interests.

Summary of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog
The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family in the making and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life.
John and Jenny were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy-and their life would never be the same. Marley quickly grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound steamroller of a Labrador retriever who crashed through screen doors, flung drool on guests, stole women's undergarments, devoured couches and fine jewelry, and was expelled from obedience school. Yet Marley's heart was pure, and he remained a steadfast model of love and devotion for a growing family through pregnancy, birth, heartbreak, and joy, right to the inevitable goodbye.
