"marley" broke my heart...... I am not a wimp - and I don't cry easily... but, I read "Marley and Me" this weekend and I cried and cried and cried.
I can promise you that the better part of the book is delightful, fun, funny, and everything you'd want to read in a book.
But, I just want to warn those of you who consider yourselves to be the least bit sensitive ... you may not want to go near the latter part of the book with a ten-foot pole.
However, many people (who perhaps haven't lost a dog as recently as I have) with ten boxes of kleenex seem to make it through this book in relatively good shape. But, even these people - the tougher among us - admit to a few tears.
The ten people on my list waiting to borrow my book are dwindling quickly... one by one they are admitting to having heard how sad parts of it are.
Read it at your own risk. . . most of it is just wonderful!
