Book Review of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog (Audio CD) (Abridged)

Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog (Audio CD) (Abridged)
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


Marley & Me by John Grogan is a "must read" for dog lovers. I tried it for my first audio book, and it made the miles fly! But I did have to save the last disk for home - it's hard to see the road through the tears.

It's a true story of a young yellow lab and his family growing up together. Marley is not the perfect dog, but how many of those do we find in real life. There are tender moments that brings a tear to the eye, and there are the hillarious episodes that made me laugh out loud. Then there are the events that I just shake my head and think - just like my dogs.

Note: Not a "Lassie" style tale for children
