Marley & Me / John Grogan
Winter is my favorite time of the year. I love everything about it – the crisp air, the drenching clothes and even then freezing winds. Well, I love almost everything. As always, I get really sick in this time of the year. It’s practically inevitable. But there is one good thing about it – the extra time for reading [what a delight]!
So anyway, today I’m going to tell you about my latest obsession – Marley & Me by John Grogan. Actually, it is one of the books from my “to-read list”, and I read it twice in a row (doesn’t happen a lot. I usually wait a little bit before re-reading a book). I was really surprised to learn that this book was a biography, it surly didn’t look like one.
The book is about life with the world’s worst dog. Marley is big, strong and unstoppable. In other words – a source for troubles. Despite all that, John and Jenny consider him as a part of the family. Marley shares with them all the moments of joy and sadness, and the book describes their story till the inevitable goodbye.
The book is touching, funny and it’s a wonderful book to spend your time with, especially for dog-lovers. I bet that anyone who reads it, would be as captivated as I was.
