Query: Not worth the money

I hate to disagree with most people who have written glowing reviews of "Marley & Me," but it's just not that good a book. If you want a very good, well written, make you laugh make you cry dog story, read "The Dog Who Wouldn't Be," by Farley Mowatt.There are a few parts in "Marley & Me" that will make you chuckle, and the ending will bring forth the tears, but in between there isn't all that much going on. The book is more about the Grogan family than the dog, which I guess is OK, but it just reads like a journal. Many of the punch lines are well telegraphed, not that funny, and some are downright stilted. I kept hoping it would get better, but it didn't.
