"Walden is a coming of age tale like none preceding it. Told with a wit, style and panache of a born satirist, Dolan offers a tale neatly rolled and bundled in a gestalt of life’s manifold sorrows and joys... Visit the world of Walden in this marvelous story served up by Michael Dolan. It is a visit you will not regret." - C.B. Smith, Mad Hatters' Review

“WALDEN is a story about the seamier side of campus life, a life far removed from the smiling faces on the college brochures. Mike Dolan has crafted a powerful and evocative story, full of anger, frustration and misdirected emotion, about a young man caught up in the anonymous and soul-crushing world of the educational system. Should be required reading for all college freshmen." - Iain Levison, author of A Working Stiff's Manifesto and Since the Layoffs

"If there was ever a story of a predetermined path with no thought of how the actual person would respond, Walden is it...Walden has more twists and turns than a roller coaster..." - The Chanticleer (Jacksonville State University)

"Walden entertainingly explores how one student ignores the typical route of acceptance, and leads his own personal uprising against his university and family...Its pages are filled with action." - Daily Orange (Syracuse University)
