I have a dog just like Marley, crazy and funny. This book made me laugh and cry. I love the way John took care of Marley and how much his children loved him. It's a book everyone should read.

I absolutely loved this book! It was even better than the movie, although the book didn't make me cry like the movie did. Marley had me laughing out loud at all his hilarious moments of naughty behavior like when he swallowed a gold chain and would constantly steal food. John Grogan really makes you feel like you're right there through all the good times and the bad times, at one stage I felt like I had to wipe slobber and sand off my face when John was explaining their trip to 'Dog Beach'. I couldn't imagine living with a dog like Marley during his bad times of destroying everything but I could definitely live with his "heart of gold" loyal personality. This book will make you laugh and it may make you cry, I highly recommend you read this uplifting story of a dog who stole my heart and may steal yours.

It isn't the best book I have ever read, but it is a very cute book. Even though he is a horrid dog you learn to love him, and you understand why the family loves him. The books ending was very moving, and left me in tears.

As an animal lover, I really enjoyed reading this book about "the worst dog ever," who was kicked out of obedience school and had to be doped up whenever thunder rumbled in the distance. I guess we really can learn a lot from our pets.

Sweet, decently written, had seen the film first but still had a tear in my eye at the end.
For animal lovers.

Read it in one afternoon because 2020 hasnt given me much to do at work.

Might be regretting devouring it all in one sitting. I'll let you know when looking at my dog stops making me cry.
