2008-10-06 Brilliant and so so sad!

I purchased this book on the spur of the moment after reading the great reviews it received. I am so pleased I did.

If you're a dog or an animal lover then this book will reach into your body pulling at your heart. I haven't cried so much for a while. As I was nearing the end of this book. I was sobbing so much my tears were from heart wrenching sobs. I really loved getting know Marley and his family in this book, and although I shed a few tears at the beginning of the book and during the end, there were many moments where I was sat laughing in stitches through reading about his antics.

This is such a heartfelt true story of how John and Jenny got their first puppy, and how he changed their lives for the next 13 years. Causing havoc and distress at the worst of times but also in an instant bringing happiness and laughter and lessons in life, to all who loved him.

I recommend this book to everyone. It is a book I shall always keep close to my heart.
