I am reading it at the moment, but not far into it as yet, so no comment at present.

I thought it was a good read. It's not somat I would normally choose to read but I read it coz I had a quiet day at work (shhh don't tell the gaffer ) I enjoyed it though. I dare say there'll be a few comments about his training methods though.. quite old school I thought (not that I had a problem with it but some might)
All in all I'd give it a 7 outta 10 I reckon

Have to admit I'm about three quarters of the way through it so far and I'm finding it tough going. I hate to say it but I'm a bit bored....

I read it a few months ago.
Would not have ready it BG (before dog) but now I have a dog myself could identify with some of the situations. Some funny bits and obviously some very sad.

7/10

My sister gave it to me for my birthday - I'm reading it at the moment although I'm only about 1/4 of the way through.

i've read it and thoroughly enjoyed it, I loved the bit about the sled ride in the snow, hurtling pell mell towards the trees and stream

I must want you ailsa and sara, the last few chapters are sad. i wont say which bit i found touching till you have read it all....... and the last few chapters made me cry .

That is one of the reasons I am taking so long to get through it I know it is going to be sad at the end as Marley reaches old age and having Golden Oldie of my own I am not looking forward to the last few chapters, as I cry very easily at things at the best of times. I know I am being a coward but I just can't help it.
