Marley and Me

Title: Marley and Me
Author: John Grogan
Genre: Non-Fiction
Reviewer: Jimmy

John Grogan tells the story about his life with Marley. John and his wife, Jenny, purchases a yellow Labrador puppy they name, Marley. The only dogs they ever owned were Saint Shaun and Saint Winnie. Marley was definitely not a Saint Marley. The young puppy grew at a rapid pace. John describes Marley as Cujo in the Stephen King novel. The story continues with the life of Marley until he has grown old.
I think this is one of the best books I have read. If you ever had a dog you would enjoy Marley and Me. There are so many humorous parts in the book. John describes how Marley greeted people at the door. As Marley’s life goes on he gets older and sickly. The novel recounts the sadness of the old Marley. Marley and Me has a surprise ending.
