Helpful Score: 2

My kids saw this movie then suggested I read the book (which I had had for 6 months or so in my "to be read" shelf). I thought it would be a typical "newly-wed couple gets dog, then has kids, dog gets along with kids then dies" story so I was prepared to not like the book. But Grogan is a good writer and put lots of interesting details in the story-telling. I knew Marley would die (as all dogs do plus my kids sad the movie ending was soooo sad, sniff-sniff) but I, too, cried at the end. Any dog lover will enjoy this book.
