Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog

If you enjoy treacle well-seasoned with lots of dog poop, this is the book for you. I listened to it while I was driving, and found myself wanting to climb right out the window of my car, a la Marley.

Good story, but I wish I'd read it rather than listened to it. I believe it was read by the author and his voice was very annoying...to the point where it became distracting.

Kind of slow, but the ending really got me! I have a Labrador who isn't as wild as Marley, but he does have Marley's personality for the most part. Made me extra sensitive to the fact that Brady's days with me are numbered.

Great story, but needs a different narrator. I think I would have liked the written version better.

The story was cute and a little corny but the reader/author's voice was absolutely unbearable. I couldn't even make it to the end of the audio CD.

I got this book on the recommendation of my wife who is a dog fanatic. Right from the beginning, I enjoyed the book. Being a dog owner, I could identify with the things Marley did and could understand the author's feelings. When I came to the end, I drove down the highway with tears running down my face. It is a heart warming book with an ending that could be understood by any pet lover.

Husband thought book was fun and cute. The only negative was the voice, he almost put it down after one disc. He was on a road trip so he continued, but he wouldn't want the same reader again, I believe it was the author.

This is one of the best and certainly most heartwarming stories I've read - in the same catagory as Tuesday's with Morrie, Water for Elephants, and For One More Day.... You will laugh out loud and stain your pillow with tears.... I enjoyed the book so much I purchased the audiobook... Big Mistake.... The author DOES NOT do his book justice by narating it himself, he should have left that to the professionals... In fact, the sound of his voice is so irritating it grates on your nerves !!! Rating-Book: 5 STARS !!! Rating-Audio: 0 Stars

Amazing animal story, and I can't see how a movie will do it justice.

I love this book! I laughed throughout and cried at the end. I have never rated a book in the 4 years I have used simply audiobooks but I felt this one really deserved it. I would recommend this book to anyone especially if you are a dog owner. The only thing was that the author read the book and his voice was a little annoying but less than halfway through the first CD I didn't notice his voice anymore because I was too busy laughing out loud and enjoying his story. It is a wonderful story that every dog lover should read/hear. Kudos to the author!
