A review by laurenjpegler
Marley and Me by John Grogan

5.0

This book did exactly what it said it would. It made me laugh and it made me cry. I don't know what it was about this book that made it so truly magnificent but I didn't want to put it down at all. The film is one of my all time favourites and I wanted to give the book a go, and I'm so happy I did. I connected a lot to it, especially the end, as recently I had my old dog put to sleep, so perhaps that's why the tears wouldn't stop rolling down my cheeks when I reached the end. Marley was a very mischievous 'four-legged pain in the ass', but I think that's what made the book. You got a deeper insight to a relationship between a man and his dog which was so heart warming due to it just being a few words on paper. I would definitely recommend this book to any dog lover.
