Synopsis
Originally published by the "Philadelphia Inquirer", this unforgettable collection of 70 newspaper columns by bestselling author John Grogan have the same sense of humour, wit, poignancy and insight that Grogan exhibited in "Marley & Me". Whether writing about animals, his own powerful and moving comments about his mother, his father and his own family, his trenchant comments of life's foibles and farces, or his interviews with people who are memorable and unusual in their own right, John Grogan makes us laugh, he makes us cry, and he makes us think.

About the Author
John Grogan is an award-winning journalist and the Pennsylvania columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Customer Reviews

beware - nothing like marley & me
i would guess like most people i bought this book on the back of the very successful marley & me. be warned that it is a completely different type of book with very little mention of marley or dogs (despite the misleading cover). this is a short book and is a blatant attempt to jump on the back of the success of the 1st book. disappointing. i would avoid.

Not what it seems
This book has actually been put together by the Philadelphia Enquirer and John Grogan has neither participated in putting these old newspaper columns together nor is he profitting from the book. While these short passages are not badly written, they are not really relevant to much (unless you're a local) and the book overall is thus a great disappointment. The tiny bit on Marley was much more elaborated on in the actual book so nothing new there either. What a shame. I was so looking forward to reading this.
