“A funny, touching tribute to a ninety-seven pound Lab who was as loyal as he was disobedient”- PEOPLE

I have not read any other books by john grogan, so I can’t answer the entire question. I like his writing very much he uses a lot of strong descriptive words and is good at grasping your attention. I am guessing that he is so good at that because he worked for a news paper.

“Don’t fall too in love, Marley,” I said as they drove off. “You cant afford her.”

I really enjoyed this book not only because I love dogs but because it was a very well written, descriptive, and engaging book. I think this book affected me because it makes me think about my family and how much family means to both me and John Grogan.
