Reviewer Comments: This book has been floating just below my radar for awhile, but I thought it might be a great read during the holidays. After all, what could be more heartwarming than a dog book? So, having now read it, I can tell you: almost anything but this. Poor Marley. Brought into a family that wants to practice parenting on a dog before having children and treated by them as though he should have been born knowing good behavior, this poor dog wanders from one disaster to the next. The cover of the book proclaims Marley is "the world's worst dog," but misses the fact that the Grogans may be a dog's worst family. The charm of this book eludes me...it's like reading a TV sitcom. Pass. PS: AND...the dog dies.

Reviewer Comments: Marley is a light hearted, amusing tale with its share of chuckles along the way!  Follow Marley’s mishaps and adventures from his puppy days into adulthood.  Every dog lover will relate!  Be warned…this book is not for readers with a weak stomach!  The author does not hold back on giving graphic details to the truly gross Marley behavior!
