The original book that moved millions of readers around the world and that inspired the major motion picture of the same name starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston.
This No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller tells the heart-warming tale of how a wiggly yellow fur ball of a puppy could grow into a barrelling, ninety-seven pound stramroller of a Labrador retriever who would prove that unconditional love comes in many forms.
John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Along comes Marley, mischievous, hyperactive and so unruly he is expelled from obedience school. How could they possibly know that this incorrigible dog could teach them more about love for life than they could hope to teach him?
Since becoming a major motion picture, starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, this heart-warming and unforgettable story of a family and their haphazard dog has become a timeless family favourite.

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.
