![]() ![]() The only thing worse than reading this, is listening to Grogen's whiney, pitchy voice. I got a story about about a very average man's life. Marley & Me is John Grogans funny, unforgettable tribute to this wonderful, wildly neurotic Lab and the meaning he brought to their lives. I expected a story that made me consider how pet ownership might give me a new outlook on everyday problems. Grow up! I have never been so let down by a book. I really don't care that you waited in the car while Jenny bought the home pregnancy kit because "there are some things guys just aren't meant to shop for". ![]() I know far more than I care to about the Grogan family. He is brave and strong, there was only one time in his life when he cried when his dog died. He’s a praiseworthy man loving husband and father, a good friend for other people and especially for his dog. So instead he decides to dedicate a whole book to it? This is not a book about Marley or the trials, tribulations and benefits of dog ownership, it is Grogen's autobiography for the 13 years he happened to own a dog. John Grogan the narrator, and his story had really taken place in his life. After Marley dies, John Grogen (a newspaper columnist) states "I wanted to write a farewell column to Marley, but I was afraid that all of my emotion would pour out in a gushy, maudlin piece of self-indulgence that would only humiliate me". ![]()
