'A book with intense appeal ... tenderly follows its subject from sunrise to sunset, from the ball-of-fluff stage to the heartbreaking farewell.' -- New York Times 'The reason Marley & Me has proved to be a bestseller is that it is not just a funny dog story ... It's a universal story of family life and a publishing sensation' -- The Times 'Made me laugh so much I pulled a muscle in my solar plexus' -- Daily Mail 'This is a wonderful, moving book that even non-dog-lovers cannot fail to enjoy.' -- Mail on Sunday

Celebrating Marley's life exactly as he lived it as "the world's worst dog," Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Grogan shares his family's Marley tales of frustration, loyalty, and love. Marley grew from a tiny puppy to 97 pounds of untrainable exuberance. Johnny Heller's reading starts out a bit stiff but quickly loosens up as he settles into the pace and rhythm of the tale; his diction is clear and distinct, with a nice range that makes it easy for the listener to follow the various characters, whether male, female, or juvenile. This program is professionally produced; there is no tape hiss or other background noise. Grogan wrote Marley & Me in memory of an unforgettable Labrador retriever. Animal lovers will enjoy listening to this at times humorous audiobook. Recommended for public and school libraries.-Laurie Selwyn, formerly with Grayson Cty.
