The group simply felt that the book provided more depth on sensitive and intimate moments than the film. The movie, on the other hand, received a rating of 4. Wow! Out of all the discussions I have hosted over the years, that’s the highest rating ever. On a rating scale from 1 – 5, with 5 being the highest, we gave the book an overall rating of 5+. Our group has some very discerning rea ders, and all were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed this book. We also discussed the relationship between John and Jenny, as well as their relationship with Marley individually, as a couple, and as a family. This book gave us the opportunity to talk about our own pets and the lessons they provide. Sometimes we laughed and cried at the same time. We were surprised by how much this story touched our hearts. Book Club Notes: Although this title was and still is a popular one, none of the book club members had read it before.
