"Not really very good.... I did not like the main character and I found I was not to keen on the writing style... all kind of a drag as I really respect and like Jim Lehrer.... I did however, learn a fair amount about Ben Franklin, a man who has never struck my fancy nor compels me now. Oh well. I won't seek them out, but if I came across one of Lehrer's other books, I'll probably read it just to see if it's any better...."
"I plucked this book form the clearance shelves and spent a quiet afternoon finishing it. What a fun surprise! The intrigue wasn't too taxing and the plot moved fairly quickly--a nice bit of fluff to enjoy on the patio in summer."
