Rezensionen

"A very funny valentine...Marley & Me tenderly follows its subject from sunrise to sunset...with hilarity and affection." - Janet Maslin, New York Times

"[Marley & Me] rises above some others of its topic thanks to Grogan's healthy dose of self-deprecating humor." - MSNBC.com

"[Marley & Me] took my breath away. I laughed. I cried. . . . What a gift...immortalizing a dog who will always hold a very special place in the hearts of each family member." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Marley, meanwhile, is teaching America something about values-something that perhaps only a really bad dog with a really true heart can teach." - Daily Mail (London)

"If you know someone who claims there's not a book in the world that can make him cry, give him this one. It won't even matter if he's not a dog lover. He'll cry anyway. Trust me." - Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

"A humorous and loving tribute...Throughout, the family is steadfastly devoted to this badly behaved yet totally lovable and loyal pup. ...Readers...whose dogs would qualify for the "Bad Dog Club" will delight in this tribute." - Library Journal

"Expect to laugh, cry and shake your head as you read this book. . . . Marley is a great and memorable dog, and in the hands of a writer as observant, unsentimental and piercing as Grogan, this is a human-canine journey dog lovers will want to take." - Jon Katz, bestselling author of A Dog Year and Dogs of Bedlam Farm
