"This was a book about Benjamin Franklin's adult, political career. I found it very readable and interesting. By researching Franklin's papers, Morgan has written a very personable, concise biography of Franklin."
"The biography wasn't organized in a way that made it easy to read. I'd like something a little more sequential. Also, there are a lot of conclusions about Franklin's character, etc. instead of facts. I guess the author had to condense from many sources, but I'd like to make some conclusions myself instead of having all the authors opinions so obviously thrust upon me."
"If you're looking for a short biography of this incredible founding father, I recommend this one. While it does not give a chronological account of the events and happenings of Franklin's life, it provides the reader instead with an understanding of how Franklin's ideals and views of the world evolved over his career as a scientist and stateman. The reader will gain a greater appreciation for why the revolution was necessary and just how precious the freedoms we so often take for granted today are."
