Benjamin Franklin Listener Reviews
-
" Quite possibly one of the most boring books I have ever read in my life. Benjamin Franklin's efforts to immortalize his heroism on paper are conceited, contradictory, and totally uninspiring at best. "
— Marina, 6/12/2011 -
" An excellent mind and strong will. In most aspects he was a man I like to be like. "
— Sergey, 6/9/2011 -
" Though perhaps one of the most interesting people of all time, Ben Franklin's autobiography is one of the most boring books of all time. "
— Laura, 6/7/2011 -

" Everyone should read this! <br/> <br/>Did you know that besides discovering electricity he also founded the first library, U of Penn, the fire station and various benevolent societies? "

" It's written in the old english so it's a bit of a pain to read. I found it a bit boring, which is a shame given how amazing this homie was. "
— Danjewygros, 5/28/2011 -
" This is most interesting. A small glimpse into his ancestry. I'm not far into the reading but there is a way that Benjamin gets your attention and wants you to learn more about him. "
— Nickie, 5/22/2011 -
" Good read, but me and Ben, we wouldn't have been friends in his day! "
