3 for 2 in WH.Smiths!

I had a £5 book voucher left from Mothers day, umm that was an oversight
So off I went to Smiths this morning to put it towards a book for my hols.
I ended up paying an extra £10 cos they had an offer 3 books for the price of 2. Well thats too good to miss isn't it?
Anyway one of them is called "Marley and Me" by John Grogan. Life and love with the worlds worst dog!!
The blurb on the back cover says, "a book with intense but narrow appeal, strictly limited to anyone, who has ever had, known or wanted a dog"
Well thats all of us then!
I will let you know what it is like.

HI Jenny I got it as part of my Christmas two years ago. I must say I was a bit dissappointed with it, prerhaps it had been given too big a write up.

I do hear there it has been made into a movie, so perhaps the movie for once will be better than the book.

Having said that everyone is different and perhaps youwill enjoy it, I really hope you do,

Well I have read it, and I was disappointed too.
It was ok, that is all you can say about it.
I have now loaned it to my young neice and she is loving it, so maybe the younger person will enjoy it more.
