Midlife Mouse by Wayne Franklin

MIDLIFE MOUSE by Wayne Franklin is an interesting Science Fiction and Fantasy/Fiction. I wasn't sure what to expect from this novel, but what I found was.....Alice In Wonderland meet Midlife Mouse. Bill Durmer is having a midlife crisis,big disappointments,and life changes. Well written with humor,adventure and the characters are interesting with life altering experiences. Set in the backdrop of Disney World. Who does not enjoy the big Mouse and the wonderful magic of Disney World? With quirky characters,entertainment from the first page to the last page,and a very interesting plot,what's not to enjoy. What if story.... involving imagination,intrigue,prophecy and destiny. If you enjoy fantasy,a bit of science fiction, Disney World intrigue, than you will enjoy "Midlife Mouse". Not your everyday summer adventure. A debut author to watch out for in the future. Received for an honest review from the author.
