Customer Reviews
Oh Franklin.
This is a great book for people who want to start scratching at the surface of our history, and to learn more about a great American who helped shape America and the world.
We never learn
Read this, all the politics we struggle with today are the same that Franklin faced.
I respect Ben Franklin even more
I enjoyed the book. Learning of his humble upbringingand challenges was inspiring. I didn’t know how long he fought to just be even a news paper writer. I didn’t know about his faith and his morals and how he taught people about his morals and beliefs. Ben Franklin Autobiography had lots of hidden gems. However it was missing information about the revolutionary war, independence and the constitution. Those last three things were what I was most excited about and his most lasting legacy, I don’t understand why he wouldn’t mention them.
Still a good book I would recommend especially to young boys or business owners. Even people struggling with religion could pull some really open minded thoughts out of this book.
