I never read Marley and Me (afraid I would sob all the way through as animals are so touching), but I am interested in autobiography so might well give this a try!

The only memoirs that I have read tend to be by people who grew up in wildly dysfunctional families. While they have something important to say it's nice to know that someone who had a good childhood can write a good memoir as well! This sounds positively refreshing!

I think it attests to Grogan's story telling ability that so many people are enjoying his memoirs. Thanks for being on this tour, Becca! As always, your review was fantastic. :) I didn’t realize how many memoirs are about dysfunctional families, but once you mentioned that, I couldn’t think of ONE that was about a happy, well-adjusted family!

It doesn't give me extra time....my clocks are all off and my head and body are completely confused. Spring forward is so horrible that I can’t bear fall back either.

All I'd have to do is substitute "Tom" for "John" in that quote. Should probably buy a copy for my mother, too. I’ll definitely be reading this…sounds a lot like my family, and around the same era.
