Yes, I know it's not Friday, but I had already done my Friday post, and yesterday I was typing up a guest post for Seana (her name's the link to her blog) that I still haven't finished :P. Sorry, Seana, I'll have it either today or tomorrow, I promise!
Anyway, you're probably wondering why Friday was a cry day. if you are not wondering, then too bad, because I am going to tell you anyway.
I finished reading Marley and Me.
*Post contains spoilers*
A few years ago, this movie was playing on an airplane. I didn't watch it, but my dad did. And when I looked over at him, my dad was crying.
I can't believe I picked it up out of the library to read in study hall! But I did. I am so stupid.
Anyway, I loved---WHOA!!!!!!!!! STOP!!!!! STOP!!!!!!!!! RANDOM HARRY POTTER QUOTE THAT I DIDN'T THINK I REMEMBERED POPPED INTO MY HEAD!!! "Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and above all, those who live without love." --Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Sheesh, how did I remember that? I'll have to add it to my sidebar later. And now, back to the post.
As I was saying, before that thought rudely interrupted me, I loved this book. As much as Harry Potter? No. But I still loved it. The problem with reading it during study hall, though, was because I cried so hard when the put Marley to sleep :'(. And then, I cried even harder because it made me think of my 14 year old dog who, thank goodness, is still alive and pretty healthy.
Although this wasn't really supposed to be a book review, I'll tell you a little about it:
John Grogan had the perfect dog as a child. Shaun, the dog, was loyal, obediant, and had every quality you could ever want in a dog. Shaun had set the bar pretty high.
And then came Marley. With paws too big for his body and a knack for getting into trouble, Marley is not exactly the dream dog. He's so much more...
Rating: I'd give this book a 4.5 out of 5. I couldn't give it a 5 because it wasn't really perfect (especially when he talked about going through Marley's poop to get a necklace), but it was really good! I would recommend it to all you dog lovers out there. Even if you aren't a dog lover, I would still recommend it :D.
Before I sign off, I just want to let y'all know that I'm trying to get into the habit of a post at least every other day. I really want to post more, but I'm always forgetting, or I'm too busy :(. So, keep checking my blog for a new post!
