About this product
Product Information
"As he did in Marley , Grogan makes readers feel they have a seat at the family dinner table....4 stars." -- People John Grogan, author of the phenomenal #1 New York Times bestseller, Marley & Me , once again takes readers into his past, his memories, and his heart in The Longest Trip Home --a funny and poignant memoir of faith, family, and identity. A New York Times bestseller in its own right, The Longest Trip Home has earned glowing accolades from the critics ("Genuinely heartrending," -- New York Times "Wry and witty," -- Washington Post ; "Entertaining, funny, and, best of all, always honest at its core," -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch ). And, just as Marley & Me was more than simply "a dog book," John Grogan's Longest Trip is much, much more than your typical story of a boy's coming-of-age.

The Longest trip home by John Grogan
The first half of this book for me was the longest trip to the decent ending in the second half of the book. I'm sure there are those who will enjoy the entire book. If your not sure if this book is for you I'd check it out at the library first and then if you want to add it to your own library go ahead and purchase one. If you read and loved Marley and Me don't expect this book to resemble that book in any way. This book begins with Grogan as a young boy and follows his life through boyhood, his first awkward sexual encounters, his college years and on into marriage, children, and the ending of his parents lives. There are touching moments as he spends time with his mother and father as their lives come to an end, but as a whole I just couldn't find any reason to reccomend this book to anyone as a great read.

Were you Raised Catholic? This Book Is For You
This is the third John Grogan book I've read. Marley and Me was terrific, Bad Dogs Have More Fun, was only so-so, thus I didn't know what to expect with this book. It's an excellent book about parent child, parent adult child relationships. Anyone who reads it will enjoy it, but if you were raised Catholic, and attended Catholic schools in the 40s, 50s and 60s, or you had fundamentalist Catholic parents, the book will be even more meaningful. The rigidity of his parents, their unwavering belief in the church and its leaders is amazing. A lot of adult-child, parent conflict but totally believable. It isn't a tear jerker, it has some great humor in it, and yet is serious in its own way. I recommend it.

Great book!
I read Marley & Me and like the author's writing style, so I had to try The Longest Trip Home. It was great!!! I came from a similar background and could really relate to his stories. He described them so well I thought I was there! I read the book in one weekend... could not put it down.

the longest trip home
John Grogan follos up with a hilarious and poignant memoir about growing up in a strict Catholic family. Grogan was a natural scamp and mischief maker, spying on his hot neighbor and stealing sips of the sacramental wine, eventually growing apart from his parents. Finally, he realized his parents were getting old, and slowly came to understand and accept his their religious beliefs. A heartwarming tale, THE LONGEST TRIP HOME is full of humorous anecdotes and profound truths about family and love.

Better than Marley and Me.
I bought it after reading Marley and Me, but it was even better than I expected. In fact I read it on the airplane going back and forth from Seattle to Norfolk. When I got off the plane, my eyes were bright red, but it wasn't because I was sad. It was because I was so appreciative of my childhood, my parents and the life I am able to live now. This book made me laugh, cry and was thought provoking. Such a beautiful memoir!
