This book is a heart-warming story filled with benevolence and adoration. This book taught me that you can find admiration through the love of a man's best friend.

Marley & Me
I recently finished Marley and Me by John Grogan, a novel about the Grogan's and their rambunctious, mischievous, but loving dog, Marley. Throughout this book Marley shows compassion and love toward his family. At the beginning he is very wild and crazy, eating anything he can "get his mouth around." They think of him as the world's worst dog, since he destroys the house as a puppy. As the novel progresses he grows up, teaching his family what really matters in life. He never fails to fill their hearts with devotion and loyalty, as well as providing the kids lots of fun as they also grow up. He is always their for the Grogan's when they need something to cheer up their lives, like when Jenny has a miscarriage. The Grogan's did not realize at first that they could find the key to happiness through a crazily energetic dog . But, Marley proves to them that he can.

Have you seen the movie for this? If you have, was the book different than the movie? I saw the movie and thought it was really good, but should I read the book? From your post it sounds just like the movie.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read this book now Anneliese. In a way it's kind of like the book I recently finished, Charlie St. Cloud. The one that passes away in the family teaches them the most life lesssons. I am really looking foward to read this book, and I hope that I enjoy it as much as you did.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really good! I have seen the movie but now I want to see how the book differs from it. Is the book better then the movie? Or is it the other way around? I'm excited to read the book and see the similarities and differences.
ReplyDeleteThis book seems really good. I saw the movie and it was so sad but really good! It really does show how much having a dog can do for you and how strong the bond between dog and owner can be- not matter what they do you will still love them.
