Make way for Marley!
When the Grogan family is ready for a dog, they choose Marley, a yellow furball of a puppy who quickly grows into a large, rowdy Labrador retriever. Marley has a zest for life, and as he grows, so does his enthusiasm. He has an appetite for whatever he can get his paws on—from fine jewelry to underwear—and the one thing he always finds is trouble. Marley even gets kicked out of obedience school! Can this rambunctious pup ever learn how to be a good boy?

Summary: Chandler from Lake Tapps says: This is a Really Good Book!
Comment: This book is one of the greatest books I've ever read! That's saying a lot. I didn't want to put it down but, my mom made me put it down and go to bed. Marley and Me can't be explained with words! John Grogan's book is an incredible and spectacular demonstration of a extraordinary writer.
In the beginning John Grogan got a dog when he was a boy. That dog set his standards for all dogs. Shaun (his dog) was so obedient and a great companion. So, when John Grogan got Marley he had another thing coming. The first time they left Marley alone in his concrete residence he went berserk he had blood everywhere. There even was a big gap in the wall! Also, Marley would eat really random stuff like; napkins, speaker wiring and stuff like that. Luckily they found it in Marley's poop. That was rainbow colored because Marley liked eating mangoes. If you want to discover out what happens next you have to read the book.
My favorite part is when John Grogan laid on his back on the kid's toboggan. Then Marley jumped on him and then they went flying! They went down so quickly because of their weight. I thought they were going to fly off the toboggan! I chuckled so hard I got the hiccups when they went flying into the river. I was surprised that the river wasn't frozen when it snowed. I also, laughed when Marley wanted to do it again. I can't believe that they went so far!
The greatest character in this book is Marley he is so lovable. I can't explain how companionable, compatible and adorable he is. One part in the book I cried because they had to put Marley down. I didn't want them to put Marley down but, it was his time to go. Marley had a really excellent existence.
I recommend this book to everyone and everybody who enjoy excellent books! This book deserved to be turned into a movie. I can't wait to watch the movie. I give this book 5 stars *****. If I could give it additional stars I would. I hope the movie is as excellent as the book.

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful!
Comment: My 8 year old son chose this book to read for 'accelerated reading' for school and it's just a wonderful book. It really kept his interest & had him laughing out loud through out. When my son started chapter 22, it was too sad & emotional for him to read by himself, so we curled up on the couch with our dog Jake and read it together. Make sure you have a big box of kleenex handy once you get to Ch. 22! We were both in tears and by chapter 23 we were squalling like babies...it was difficult to get through. But what a beautiful, wonderfully written story. My husband & I had a dog not unlike Marley that we had to put down over 8 years ago and boy did the emotions come flooding back just as though it had happened yesterday. Some dogs are so special, they leave their paw prints on your heart forever. Marley is one of those dogs...This touching book is a must read for dog lovers everywhere!

Summary: A great tale--make sure you get this kids' edition for kids
Comment: My whole family thoroughly enjoyed Marley & Me. My husband received the original hardcover as a birthday gift, and he read it out loud to our eight-year old, using lots of on-the-fly Daddy editing. Grogan wrote the original Marley & Me for an adult audience, and it's really a memoir of his family life as much as a biography of his dog (a brilliant angle, really, for Grogan to be smart enough to realize that his personal memoir would not have created as much interest as "life and love with the world's worst dog").
That being said, I want to emphasize that if you want to share Marley's story with a child, please make sure to buy the kids' edition, either Marley: A Dog Like No Other or the Marley Movie Tie-in Edition: A Dog Like No Other. It's a very worthy adaptation, keeping Grogan's authorial voice and Marley's stories intact, and the kids' version does still contain the "circle of life" lessons of the original book, which I thought was important. I definitely recommend the youth adaptation for anyone younger than high school, as well as any reader who is primarily interested in Marley as the star of the Grogan family. It's still a solid book, 24 chapters, almost 200 pages--a quality read.
The young readers' edition focuses on Marley and significantly tones down the content about John and Jenny Grogan's fertility issues and postpartum depression, and also takes out the stories about the crime in their neighborhood, which culminated in a horrifying report about an elderly neighbor being brutally murdered. I had forgotten how upsetting some of the book was until my child picked up the adult version recently and read it through without me--it was not a happy outcome.
There is a great tale for the whole family embedded in the original Marley & Me, which is why I am so glad that John Grogan went to the trouble of creating a high-quality adaptation for young readers. The Grogans were typically inept dog owners when faced with their high-maintenance Marley. If they weren't, half the antics in the story would never have happened. They love their dog and their kids, and Marley sure was a character. With the Marley & Me movie coming out, there is sure to be renewed interest in Marley, and this entertaining, heartfelt family story.
