Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans.

John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same.

Marley grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Obedience school did no good -- Marley was expelled.

But just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley remained a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms.

Marley & Me is John Grogan's funny, unforgettable tribute to this wonderful, wildly neurotic Lab and the meaning he brought to their lives.

This book was so well written to the true dog owner, that you can see Marley and his antics. Once I started listening, I just could not stop, and ended up with a box of tissue for the tears of both the laughter and sorrow that this dog's person spoke. I have recommended this book to many people this week, and could not say enough. One has to remember, it is not a story of fiction, but one of the author's memories of his beloved family pet. My mother was listening in the car for just 25 minutes with me last weekend and she is now wanting to borrow my book, which I may have to listen to again. It is well worth the time and money spent for a good, honest read (listen).

Tears - laughter and saddness

I was skeptical about this book at first...but after 2 minutes of listening, I was hooked. My wife and I listened to this book during a recent road trip and loved the story of the trials and tribulations of Marley and his owner. After listening, we were ready to go get our own "marley" :)

Amazing Book

Story was great really loved it but the voice of the author was a little mechanical and robotic. Also the bit about the trip to Shanksville Pennsylvania and September 2003 really didn't and anything to the story

Need better narrator

Marley, Hes a dog and i love dogs

Did John Grogan do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Hi

Umm.

Everyday stories of life with a dog. The narrators voice was distracting, the descriptions were great. There was an annoying musical interlude at random intervals. Would recommend for car trips where a “g” rated storyline is essential.

Safe for car trips
