Marley: A Dog Like No Other Audiobook

Quotes

• “While the book mostly recounts Marley’s unfortunate moments, it also reveals the dog’s unabashed personality and how his people learned to love him despite his overenthusiastic approach to life and breakable objects. Marley…shows that caring for animals is a lot of responsibility and would make good preparatory reading for the child working the ‘I promise I’ll take care of it!’ angle for potential pet ownership.”

  — New York Times

• “Harris…turns in an energized and heartfelt reading of Grogan’s adaptation for young people of his bestseller, Marley & Me. In this version, the story of Marley…remains largely the same, sans the more adult subject matter: marriage, miscarriages, sex and crime. Harris’ voice is crisp, sharp, and precise, yet filled with warmth, a verbal approach that parallels Grogan’s writing style. Trained as a journalist, Grogan naturally balances removed observation with deep emotions. Here, author and narrator make a strong team; this presentation is a great family listen.”

  — Publishers Weekly

• “Young readers with pets of their own will recognize the unconditional affection Marley gave and the love he earned in return. Both humorous and sentimental, this should attract a broad range of readers.”

  — Booklist

• “The scenarios will be familiar to anyone who has ever loved and been owned by an out-of-control pup. This version contains only stories that deal with Marley and little about the other aspects of his owners’ lives that are in the original story. The book contains a lot of laughs, some tender moments, and heart-wrenching chapters that deal with Marley’s illness and death. Yes, he dies. But recommend it anyway; it’s worth the tears.”

  — School Library Journal

• “Written with real affection and humor, this tender tribute to a dog ‘with stinky breath and bad manners’ will win the hearts of even those who aren’t dog lovers.”
