From AudioFile:

Neil Patrick Harriss nuanced performance adds to this appealing dog story, a childrens adaptation of Grogans MARLEY AND ME. Harriss deadpan recital of Marley the Labrador retrievers havoc and Grogans underlying affection for him are perfectly portrayed. Hearing the tender compassion in Harriss voice as Marleys health declines, one suspects that Harris, like Grogan, has a soft spot for canines. Harris even manages to subtly age his voice as the memoir moves from Grogans first days with Marley through 13 years of living with this capricious pooch. Adults will enjoy sharing Marleys madcap exploits with youngsters. C.A. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
