Publisher Description
Franklin's Autobiography has received widespread praise, both for its historical value as a record of an important early American and for its literary style. It is often considered the first American book to be taken seriously by Europeans as literature.
By the 1860s, use of the Autobiography and its depiction of Franklin's industry and relentless self-improvement had become widespread as an instructive model for youth.
"Franklin's is one of the greatest autobiographies in literature, and towers over other autobiographies as Franklin towered over other men."

Customer Reviews
Super!
It is not the slickest audiobook I’ve listened to, but overall perfectly pleasurable!
My only complaint is that disparate narrative subjects that I think were meant to be separated are sometimes flowed too close together. But it’s not at all a deal breaker. Charming voice that I had no trouble imagining as Franklin himself!
Worst Audiobook I’ve listened to
Constant random volume changes. I don’t know how I’ll finish this, because you get distracted out of focusing on the text.
