Advantages: Easy to read Disadvantages: It made me cry
) but actually only the last section was written specifically for a newspaper. It was this tribute to Marley than put the idea of writing a whole book in Grogan's head, and the idea works well, because it's more a series of anecdotes than anything else. With a style reminiscent of Bill Bryson this is an easy and entertaining read.
I think I enjoyed it more than expected because it included fewer doggie details than I'd anticipated. Yes, Marley crops up in every one of those anecdotes, but we also get to hear about the couple's life and their jobs and the children who come along. The family seem very down to earth people, which helps them ingratiate themselves with the reader, while Marley is a loveable terror, with the focus on loveable.
Most of the criticisms of this book seem to revolve around the way the couple treat Marley ...
Advantages: A couple of hits. Strong vocals throughout Disadvantages: Tries too hard to do things out of his range

From my perspective, it has been his most anticipated as he came with some big singles since his debut "Southside" to give us "Get It Shawty", "You", and big singles from this album.

Advantages: A deliciously naughty book Disadvantages: Perhaps not applicable to every normal person's life
and well-known women with pretty public lives didn't mind poking fun at themselves:
Sharon got so fat... she ended up doing a TV dieting show. Tara got so thin, the paparazzi needed magnifying glasses to find her.
and the way they seamlessly supply tips for Primark veterans on a five figure salary alongside those for Prada fans on a six figure one. The tone throughout is chatty, approachable and understanding, stern only when necessary (for example, on going commando: That's not naughty. That's nasty.)
From how to hitch a ride in a private jet, to what to do if you wake up in bed with your boss (plus or minus his wife), this is a dummy's guide to living life naughty style... and getting away with it. This is, without a doubt, one of the funniest, most entertaining, educational books I've ever read. It is, to paraphrase my old office ...
