Title: Just plain BORING!!!
Review: Forgetting about what you think of the Grogans' pet care style, this is a bad book because it's poorly written and boring as hell after the first 50 pages. It's predictable, too long, and has essentially NO PLOT. Without spoiling what little thread there is, the book is more like a series of diary entries in the 13 years of Marley's life in the Grogan family. The fact that it is a book much more about the Grogans than Marley would be acceptable if it were interesting, but it's NOT.And for heaven's sake, what happened to the editor? This book should have been shorter by a third, if not cut by half. The writing is so overly explicit as if the reader is seriously dumb and can't understand the slightest insinuation.Bottom line: are people so stupid they like this kind of third gread level of writing? Otherwise, if you like good literature, evocative passages, a good plot, and/or complex characterizations, then don't buy this book--because it isn't happening here.
Is the review positive or negative?
