Marley and me

Has anyone read Marley and Me? I bought it earlier this year. I started reading it at about 4pm, and finished it the following morning at about 2am. I couldn't put it down. Talk about laugh and cry! You laugh, because you can see yourself in some of the positions they were in. Then you cry! I cried for about the last 100 pages, until, by the end i was sobbing, and running out of tissues.

Despite this, it is such a lovely book, and we can all relate to it. If you haven't read it, give it a go.

I picked that up in Morrisons recently.....and I read the last few pages, I think its to sad for me to read

Its based on a true story, which in the first few chapters, could of been written by me

Yes, I have read it. I was crying like a baby at the end. It is a wonderful book. And yes, its sad, but ti has some wonderfully funny moments, such as the Marley and nappy incidents. And yes, it is a true story. Well worth the read.

The last couple of chapters have been heartbreaking for me, Marley at 12 years old is showing the signs that George is showing at 3 years old............I have had to stop reading for today, its very upsetting to read, but its a really good read up until chapter 22

*this is so my story apart from the fact that George is only 3 and I wish to god, it will not go the same way Marleys went...............I cried over a pig & a spider, and again over a dog*

It's brilliant isn't it? You're right it takes you from sobbing your heart out to laughing out loud....I went through so many tissues in the last few chapters!!
