Chasing Chesterton Review:

“Take a ride through the whirlwind that is John Walker's mind as he first dreams of becoming G.K. Chesterton, until, years later, when he actually becomes G. K. Chesterton, as an actor playing the journalist in a one man show. The journey contains many ups and downs, and the author keeps you on the edge of your seat as you wonder if he'll ever make it.

The story is fast-paced, interesting, and for those who wonder what television filming is like, a real eye-opener. How many takes to make a scene? More than you can imagine. How many hours of film will they shoot to ultimately do a one hour show? More than you can imagine. How many hours does it take to memorize a very long one-man show? Hours? Let's talk months!

​Readers already familiar with the life and work of G.K. Chesterton will find this story intriguing. Readers who wonder why people are interested in a jolly journalist from a hundred years ago will find this story interesting. Readers who dream of acting on stage or screen will find this story fascinating. Readers unfamiliar with Chesterton or acting will be drawn into the story anyway, because the author worked so hard to learn everything about the British accent, his movements, his speech patterns (by studying old recordings) and then there's the incredible memorization. Read it for yourself, and enjoy!”

​“...I watched the shows before bed last night. Something I loved was Chesterton's hearty laugh. It wasn't your laugh, but it was absolutely genuine and full of life...Your recounting of the classmate in art school moved me,and brought me to a few tears. But I loved that after the memory
his joyful countenance resumed, almost like it hadn't really left.  It all made me want to be stuck  with Chesterton at a train station.
Thank you for sharing it with us!”

 
"Watching part 2 I can simply say this is marvelous,  love the socks. This is your opus and more. I cannot fathom how you have all that memorized. My friend, I hardly recognize as you transformed into GK himself.
This is really amazing,. Thanks for sharing your gift with us all.
Cheerio, my good man!"

"Mr. Walker,
    Thank you very, very much for writing and presenting "Chesterton Station".
I just finished watching both parts, after which I was both filled with joy and teary eyed. ...
you sir have captured the essence of GKC. You have channeled him.  The show was a tour de force display of your talents, and GKC's.
You must be very proud."
