Informative and quick read I was looking for an overview of Walt’s business success and failures. This was a good quick read that fulfilled that curiosity.

As an enthusiast of everything Disney, this book falls extremely flat. It's almost like a teenager has written it for a history project at school. Amongst the problems with this book are the countless grammatical mistakes, inaccuracies in in both dates and the the facts presented, as well as being written without any warmth at all. If you're a casual reader, this is a perfect read as it provides you with the briefest of overviews of the story of Disney and his company.

For anyone who considers themself a “Disney Nerd”....find a different book. This was fine for casual Disney fans (or people who don’t believe Walt was a real person), but it is laden with inaccuracies, missing items, grammar errors, spelling errors, and a lack of organization. It reads like a high school history paper, and could really use a good copy editor/proof reader.

Thin and pointless I thought this was a recommended biography but Amazon fooled me and I bought this. No better than a long newspaper article and just as poorly written, don't waste your time or money.

Concise overview of Walt Disney This is a quick overview of the life of Walt Disney. I’ve read 600+ page booms that inc,use a lot more detail but this does the job as a “Cliff Notes” type review of him, his childhood and the various stages of his work.
Zack –
Pretty good It was very interesting but at times was hard to follow because of several typos and some inaccuracies eg: dates/years and relationships.
Zachary Guthrie –
Simple Good introductory information about Walt Disney but not a good biography. I read this like a cliff notes or spark notes read more than a short book.
Carley Adair –
A fantastic book all about the man who create a mouse I adored this book.I never knew a lot about Walt till I read this wonderful book.Such a fantastic read .
Michael S Murdoch –
Poorly written Filled with errors and inaccuracies, this book would have given me a very distorted view of Walt. I know more about him than the author seems to.
