Opinions, Waking Walt

	Only one word describes my analysis of this book: Fantastic.
	Bobby Ruble
	I'm almost at the end, and now sadness sets in when I realize after 50 more pages it's done. It's real easy to 'accept' the fiction in Waking Walt. It would make a great movie :-)

	What a wonderful book you've created! Very impressive! A truly inspiring blend of humor and suspense, vision and courage. I wish it were true. :-) It's a marvelous tale and very skillfully executed. Rob and I will treasure this book for a long time to come. PS - We were also very taken by some of the book's philosophies... particularly loved Walt's view on "problems" vrs. adventure. How true. Rob has asked me to tell you, in particular: Thanks for having the courage to say those things.

	Larry, The book is wonderful. You brought back Walt for three days in my life.

	What a refreshing novel! After hearing about this novel, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it, and I was not disappointed! The story is original, but works in great elements and themes about Walt Disney, his dreams, and the urban legend surrounding his death. This novel is a must for any Disney fan. I highly recommended it!

	I finished Waking Walt on the way to my in-laws this weekend. I literally read it in the dark of the car with only the reading lamp on. I absolutely couldn't put it down and have recommended it to a lot of friends!

	Some might feel that Waking Walt is too implausible, but I think Pontius has penned a masterpiece. After all…"A dream is a wish your heart makes." Highest recommendation.

	I ABSOTIVELY POSOLUTELY loved it! I didn't want it to end! If only... I have been telling my fellow Disney Cast Members to read it, I know they'll also enjoyit.

	I have just read for a second time WAKING WALT by Larry Pontius. It's the real deal. I recommend it highly. A great read.

	Just finished reading the book. I loved it!!! Couldn't put it down. Everyone I know knows about it now too. I sent the web link to everyone I emailed about the book. Keep up the good work and I would be interested in hearing about anymore novels. By the way I was figuring Tom Cruise for the role of Harry when you get that movie deal. Good luck with your writing.

	I found your novel fast-paced and entertaining. The plot was exciting and unpredictable. I found the book to provide interesting prospective both as a scientist from the prospective of cryonic suspension and its implications for our society and also found your work to be an interesting commentary on our modern society. I congratulate you on your first novel and eagerly await your next.

	Anyway...it's rare that I have a chance to tell an author how much I really enjoyed his or her book, but since you gave me hours of pleasure reading Waking Walt, I felt like spending a few minutes to email you a rave review would be minutes well spent.

	...absolutely masterful job that Pontius does with conjuring up a flesh-and-blood Walt Disney.

	This manuscript speaks for itself, and eloquently, at that—holding the reader’s attention from the intriguing initial concept all the way to the book’s ultimate conclusion. Truth be told, there would be literally millions of folks who would be thrilled if this WEREN’T a work of fiction—Walt Disney is missed by children of all ages around the world.

	Finished your book several days ago -- endings are tricky, and in my opinion, you wrapped it up extremely well in that the end complimented and enhanced the entire aura of the delightful/page turning adventure -- an ending with a glimmer of magic and hope, if only in one's dreams. Keep up the good work, and keep us posted of your current and future endeavors."

	Currently reading the very good thriller, WAKING WALT, by Larry Pontius. The storyline/plot, pacing, and send of humor are well done plus the characterizations are excellent. Am only at page 100ish, and can't WAIT to go on.

	WAKING WALT is a masterfully written work of fiction based on an urban legend that has been around for years. Mr. Pontius has taken the legend and built a story that is completely fascinating. The imagination used to create WAKING WALT is absolutely brilliant, and the writing is flawless.
