Marley & Me is a great book. I connected with the stroy in a way I didn't think was possible. I don't own a dog right now, and the one dog that we have owned from puppyhood is living with my parents. Through Marley's owner, I felt like I was there for the whole ride. From that first fateful meeting right up until the end. This was a book that made me laugh and cry.

John Grogan is a wonderful storyteller. Through him, we see Marley for what he was and not some dog that deserved sainthood. We see him as he was: an energitec ball of life that got himself into some interesting situations. The one certainty with Marley was that he lived and loved with a ferocity that one only wishes can touch their lives.
