Title: Move over, Rover, Marley is here!
Review: In 4th grade, our teacher read "Where The Red Fern Grows" aloud to us in class. It was a diabolical torture device, designed to break our hearts right in front of our classmates.Well, 20 years later, I read "Marley" in the privacy of my home and laughed, cried and cried some more.Grogan expertly, perfectly captures the journey dog owners experience with a pet. As the co-owner of two rescue dogs, a springer-pointer mix named Daisy and a parti-colored cocker spaniel named Derby, this book rekindled many memories, and yes, horrors.Grogan isn't pretentious and frankly, his emotionally raw book is at its best when describing the worst times. As the new mom of a one year old, "Marley" also painted a nice portrait of what life has in store for us.Grogan really crafted a wonderful story that you will devour as quickly as Marley devoured his leash on the movie set. Seriously, folks... it is a great book and I think it is wonderful that Marley lives on in his own special way.
