I loved the book and I haven't (yet) seen the film. Do they manage to portray his dread of thunderstorms in the film? Because that was what I found one of the most moving things about the book, his panic at a storm and not being able to tell his humans why he was so upset.

The movie does show his fear of storms, squiggle. But it's done in a more lighthearted way than the book. During storms Marley is just a four-legged destruction machine!

The whole movie isn't all that sad, tbh. Just that last half hour WILL get you Crying

Thanks evvival, I am looking forward to seeing the film, when it eventually gets onto Sky, but I am sure the book will be better.

I read the book two weeks ago, my OH came home and found me sobbing and sniffing in the garden sat on our garden swing. He was like whats up? I managed to say Marley died!

We own a staffy called Marley and my OH looked around saw our dog was ok and said what? I repeated he died! And now he's being buried bewteen two cherry tress, its so sad. OH said oh FFS I thought something was seriously wrong.. I was herat broken, don't think I could stand watching the film *sniff* Frowner

That was hysterically funny Laugh My 2 would have tried that too, if they weren't such short arses....they seemed to have a sixth sense if I was driving them to the vet's, and the pair of them would just sit there howling pitifully EekerEeker Laugh
Mine would cry in the back of the car all the way to the vets. I have no idea how he knew.


There you go.....glad it's not just me who's barking Laugh I even tried DETOURS! But somehow they always knew Eeker
The animals pick up the anxiety from you. Thats how they know.

Can't speak for the film as I haven't seen it yet but if you don't read the book you are missing a treat, it was lovely and more tender than sad tbh.

Tender is enough to send me off! Frowner


The thing is though Marley did live a long and very happy life, that's OK and he was very much loved, anyway, your decision but I thought the book was great (and I am a great cryer, Dumbo always makes me sob, when his mum is chained up ) Crying
