Marley Makes The New York Times
Thursday, October 13, 2005
Like every writer out there, I've caught myself dreaming of someday receiving a review in The New York Times. Today the dream came true. In an 875-word piece in today's Times, reviewer Janet Maslin calls Marley & Me "a very funny Valentine ... full of tail-thumping enthusiasm." She writes: "Marley & Me tenderly follows its subject from sunrise to sunset, from the ball-of-fluff stage to the heartbreaking farewell."
"Mr. Grogan keeps the book agile by sticking to Marley-centric episodes and by locating a crazed bit of Marleyness in any event he describes," Maslin writes. She notes that some owners of incorrigible dogs might challenge my description of Marley as "the world's worst dog," adding: "Still, Marley was a strong candidate, and the book describes his qualifications with hilarity and affection."
...
Now ask me how I'm going to concentrate on anything at all for the rest of the day. Somebody please pinch me.
