This review is from: The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin: A Fully Rounded Portrait of the Many-Sided Franklin, Notably The Moralist, Humanitarian, Scientist, And Unconventional Human Being (Audio Editions) (Audio CD)
It is aslways great to hear a successful persons own words. I have enjoyed many autobiographies but this is the first one that is as old as this. I was very glad to hear some of the exploits of Ben Franklin's youth. It is amazing how much history chooses to skip, the thing churches and teachers leave out of real people's lives. Grab this one for some insight. I had expected to hear more about the signing of the constitution, but I believe that Franklin completed this work before that period in his life.
