Title: Captivating portrait , novel like read!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Brand's brilliant biography of Dr. Franklin. The Ben Franklin most Americans know is the kite flying carricature or the kindly looking gentlemen on the $100 bill. This fascinating biography is most compelling in Franklin's early years. The story of his restless boyhood in Boston to his early manhood in Philadelphia are the most interesting parts of the book. Brand is a master storyteller and never tries to overdo the story with academic theories. He utilizes alot of Franklin's own writings to make his points.The later years are more familiar but Brand's writing is just as compelling. Franklin clearly was the wise force in our early years, a man who never sought but never ran from public duty. I have read many other revolutionary period biographies and this is the best so far.
