BEST BOOK EVER!!!! I had a hard time getting into this book and found I only really enjoyed the parts that involved Marley. By the end I was aching to hug my dog and crying. Such a wonderful book!!

This is such a heartwarming, fun story which unexpectedly leaves you in tears at some parts. While the narrative is simple, this book is a great read for both adults and teens alike. Esp. if you love dogs! ;)

I absolutely loved this book! If you're an animal lover at all you'll be able to empathise with this dog-owner's story throughout the whole book. I have my own dog, a springer spaniel, and she is just as lively as Marley especially when we first got her the amount of muddy laundry we had to rewash belonging to our neighbours and sheepishly hand back was not even funny!
This book is a great little story of how a dog can give you what most humans never can. Unwavering loyalty and love. Doesn't matter if you roar and scream at a dog for eating your favourite pair of shoes, she'll still come up wagging her tail and licking your face two minutes later. Doesn't matter if you have no job and no money a dog will sit with you through it all with a never-ending supply of kisses to cheer you up. Your dog won't get angry with you, won't hold a grudge, won't talk about you behind your back and will never get sick of you. I believe and obviously so does John Grogan that a dog is definitely the best friend a man (or woman!) can have!

A very well-written book!
The author manages to draw you into the story so that after about 100 pages you will feel like you have known Marley for a long time.
The events narrated in the book are usually hilarious, even more to a dog owner such as myself; but the author gives also space to some serious events such as the birth of his children and the difficult moments he and his wife encountered.
Getting familiar with Marley and feeling like you know him for a long time does come with a price: the end of the story will bring many tears to your eyes.
A must-have for all animal lovers. :)

One of the most beautiful books I have ever read. I cried my heart out through the last few chapters, because having a dog I can totally relate to the story and Grogan's feelings for his dog.
