A Very Marley Christmas by John Grogan
So I read A Very Marley Christmas by John Grogan without knowing anything about the Marley phenomenen. Literally, I don’t know squat about Marley. I’ve never read any of the books
Christmas is fast approaching at the little house on Churchill Road. Cassie and Baby Louie want everything to be perfect for when Santa comes, especially snow. Marley, their over excited dog, gets into all kinds of trouble while the family tries to set up decorations, put up lights, and hang the stockings. But can he deliver the snow? You’ll have to find out.

Our dog looks just like Marley and acts a lot like him too. I read the book Marley & Me when it first came out and laughed so hard through the entire thing! It made me feel better about our dog – at least she doesn’t need tranquilizers in thunderstorms.
I haven’t read the Christmas book, but we have “Bad Dog Marley” and our kids love it.
on December 10th, 2008 at 10:30 pmI read the first Marley and Me book, but had no idea Marley had become a phenomenon. The kid books look cute.
on December 11th, 2008 at 5:37 pmI adored the original book and I can’t wait for the movie! I’m hoping to get a couple of gift cards for Christmas so I can pick this book up.

Jeane – I think the movie comes out on Christmas day. It looks cute.
Ladytink_534 – I guess I should read the book.
Becky – It was cute. I’m sure Marley fans like it.
on December 14th, 2008 at 9:12 pmI read Marley and Me and was surprised when I saw this in the store. I didn’t know about Bad Marley and my thought was that someone was trying to cash in on the movie making even more people aware of Marley before its release.

on December 16th, 2008 at 9:12 pmwell the book is great and I went today with my wife to see the movie and it stunk. No the movie was worse than that. It was the worst movie I have seen in my 37 years of movie watching. Grogan if you actualy saw the or wrote the screen play you should be embarrassed. Flame at will
