Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog Book

Now a hit film starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, Marley and Me is a moving and intensely funny story about a family and an extremely rambunctious Labrador named Marley. As a puppy, Marley is adopted by the newlyweds John and Jenny Grogan as a test run at parenthood, but what they didn't anticipate was that the cute little dog could end up being such a handful, turning their lives up-side-down. Grogan tells the tales of Marley's mischievous behaviour and shares the way this unruly dog becomes part of the family, connecting with all of them, sharing their ups and downs from the birth of the children to the life-changing tragedies. It's a story about starting a marriage, becoming parents and enjoying every second you have together. This is a heart-warming book that dog lovers and non-dog lovers alike can't help but love - just make sure you have your hankies at the ready! Read More

    I was given this book as a present for Christmas and was told that I had to read it, as it was the best book my friend had ever read. With such a bold statement I was extremely dubious that the book would live up to such personal hype.

    So after several months of gathering dust on my book shelf I decided I would give it a go and see if it really was such a great story.

    I have a crazy dog, so the book did appeal to me on one level as I thought, "surely no dog can be as bonkers as mine". I assumed the book would be a bit too touchy-feely animal lover-fest for me to get in to it....but I was wrong!

    After several days of devouring each and every single noun and adjective I closed this book after shedding many tears (of happiness and sadness).

    Now, I'm not usually one to be moved by a book or even a film, but this love story (yes, the love between human and man's best friend is as valid as any love story) tugged on my heart strings and left me reaching for the tissues time and time again. This beautiful book about a loopy Labrador, tells a heart-warming story of life, friendship, family and the endurance of love and devotion. Marley and Me explores all these things with humour and pragmatism, that you can't help but be sucked in to.

    If you love animals you will love this book. If you love dogs you will love this book. If you have a heart you will love this book. This book will move you deeply!


    I experienced laughter, sadness, empathy, sympathy and tears of joy and emotion. What more can you ask for from a book? When I finally put it down, I looked down at my daft dog, and told him "I love you, you're a great dog".

    HEALTH WARNING: This book will have you laughing out loud and also sobbing hard, so it is not recommended you read this on the train or anywhere else in public.

    And if you're wondering if I believe that this is the best book I've ever read, then I will tell you....this book has definitely shot into my top ten and I know it won't be budging!
