I just finished this book - Marley and me. It was recommended by a friend, as she said that she 'laughed and cried while reading the book'. I've been some sort of a bookworm since young, and i haven't come across a book that really made me laugh and cry. 

Intrigued, i went into Times bookshop yesterday and bought the book. I started reading at around midnight and had to literally slap my hands away from the book, to go to sleep. Just halfway through the book, i've laughed, giggled and shed a few tears over it,

I woke up this morning and the first thing i did (after brushing my teeth, haha) was to pick up the book and continue. More laughter and i was positively sobbing near the end. My eyes are kinda swollen now, from all the crying.

Unbelievable.

All these, from a book about the world's worst dog. You would never believe such a spastic dog exists, till you read the book. Yet, he's so... lovable. Not very so in the beginning, but i dare say the couple's effort of keeping him paid off. He proved himself a worthy companion.

Marley makes a person wants a dog in a home.

The book Marley and Me, written by John Grogan, is a mixture of lots of very funny times and also lots very sad times. John Grogan can really put strong emotions into the book. You will definitely feel different emotions during this book. When I read this book I couldn?t put it down, I just loved it. It did get dull at times but it was still good. This book is also a easier book to read. I would recommend this book for animal lovers because you will be delighted with this heartwarming story of a man and his dog.
