Review by Iain Levison
“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.”

author of A Working Stiff's Manifesto and Since the Layoffs
Main Line Today
"A Main Line Today Must. In his first novel, West Chester's Michael T. Dolan cleverly conveys the college experience - especially those first hours when you're bracing yourself for 'the roommate.' Satirical, tragic and poignant, the coming-of-age story of Walden XVI, a student struggling to find his identity, makes the perfect stocking stuffer for any college freshman."
