Reviews

[John]

Rather difficult getting through. Although, that may be my fault and not the editors. It is written as Franklin himself wrote each passage. So, the old-English style is prevalent. This did bog me down a bit. That being said, for a serious Benjamin Franklin fan, this book is a must, along with his Autobiography.

[Frank Cardenas]

A plain account of all his works, which you don't appreciate much as you go through the book but later when you think of the consequences of these same actions.
