Avigail (Israel) (2009/01/01): 19.12.08: --------- I just finished Marley and Me last night. The adorable photo on the cover caught my eye....they had a display of the book out in the open. Being an avid animal and dog lover, I couldn't pass it up. I loved it. To me it was so refreshing to see such commitment in another dog owner. I have always believed that when you adopt a pet it should be part of the family, and it is a lifelong commitment. You don't give up and get rid of them, just because of hard times or problems. This book is just enjoyable reading and now waiting for the movie to come out at Christmas time. Oh, if all our lives could be this much fun. Marley certainly was a loved dog, probably never had a bad day. I just passed this book onto other people, especially good dog lovers. I would also recommend it to high school readers as well. I loved the humor, the stories about Marley, and the compassion the author relates to the reader about his life/loves/annoyances. I'd highly recommend Marley and Me and am looking forward to reading John Grogan's 2nd book.
