Anything Considered: A Novel (Vintage)

by Peter Mayle

“Again, not as good as his memoirs, but a fun and fast paced suspense novel. It's a light story that moves along very well and still the authors writing style is extremely entertaining.”

Marley & Me

by John Grogan
- Rated 4 stars
“This is a wonderful, touching quick read. I read this book in 24 hours and cried like a baby for the last three chapters. The author truly captured the spirit of his dog and having a Weimeraner I can totally relate to the stories of Marley's life. Highly recommended for any dog owner.”
