Marley & Me

[krisykris]

Who's read it? I laughed, I cried, I cringed at some of the bad choices these people made with their dog. For the last 40 or so pages of the book I bawled like a baby knowing that it was almost Marley's time to pass.

I highly recommend it to those that have not read it... it warmed my heart and made me hug my own pups tight and appreciate all the gifts they bring into my life on a daily basis..

That has to be my favorite book of all times. I laughed throughout most of the book and I also bawled like a baby through the last chapters. And I knew it was coming, but it still made me bawl for hours.

Marley reminds me a lot of my dog, Roxie, who is part Lab. She is scared of storms and was also very rowdy as a puppy, quite the troublemaker. I think in those last chapters I pictured her and it really hit me hard.

I also recommend this book to anyone who hasn't read it, unless you can't handle teary endings.

Did you hear that they were talking about making it into a movie?

I loved it ! A movie would be a hoot !

A movie would be cool.

A movie would be awesome!! I picked the book up last night, and couldn't fall asleep until it was all over with. There was just something so human about it... that there won't always be a perfect dog, but the love of a dog is really the most perfect thing.

 

[iamawesum69420]

Very true! I would never want a perfect dog, that would be too boring.

I think that my heart leaped into my chest in the car scenario that happened in the book w/him dangling out!!! It totally freaked me out!

OMG I know! One of my favorite parts is when the wife (I forget her name, it's been awhile) is laying in bed all sad and Marley goes in to comfort her. It's so funny how dogs just seem to know when you're sad and can make you feel better.

If anyone's interested here's the website for the book...

http://marleyandme.com/index.html

There's a place to share your own stories, as well as a blog, and some other things. I thought it was interesting.

I can picture some spots that EliN's Hunter could stand in for !!

I loved it. Marley and Me is the only book that has EVER made me cry. Funny though I've never had so much in common with a book until I read this one.
