The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, with eBook

By: Benjamin Franklin

Narrated by: Walter Costello

Considered to be one of the best autobiographies written in colonial America, Franklin portrays a fascinating picture of life in pre-revolutionary Philadelphia. In his own words he describes his life as a printer, inventor, scientist, and politician.©1992 Joss Recordings (P)2005 Tantor Media, Inc.

Great lessons from a great man

So much to learn from one of the most important people of all time. Very interesting trip through the past as well. Ends abruptly, wish he would've written even more. Narrator sounds like he came from that time.

Still wanting more

Ben Franklin is a great American Hero, but I want to know more. The autobiography tells a lot I did not know and gives you an insight into a sell taught man. Great book!!!

Great Information but Hard to Listen to

While Mr. Franklin's story is very interesting and potentially fascinating, the reading is very wooden and stuff with so little inflection as to make it almost monotone.

Only problem is where it strops.

Any additional comments?

Would have been nice if he had written about the revolutionary. Unfortunately the autobiography stops around the time of the French and Indian war.

An inspiring personal account of an extraordinary life.

Well read. Great story. Challenges the willing reader to be a better member of society.
