Walt Disney an American Original was one of my favorite books I have ever read. I don't like non-fiction reading, but this book changed that opinion and I am now a true believer in the writings of Bob Thomas. I would recommend this book to anyone. Of course, I was Disney fan long before this book, but I was interested to learn more about this amazing man. But if it weren't for this assignment I wouldn't have read a biography on his life. I am very glad I did. The amount of information I gained from this reading is
shocking and this book is by far the most interesting I've read.
I loved how Thomas wrote the book as a story not as a compiled book of facts. This blogging experience has been a positive one. I have always enjoyed looking through blogs but until now, I never knew how much effort and preparation went into every post. This has also given me experience in case I decide to make a blog in the future. I liked how with blogging you could make it entirely your own; the background, the font, and the format according to your vision as a blogger. Overall I really enjoyed creating my blog and reading my non-fiction book.
