Title: Read a biography
Review: I must agree with all of the previous reviwers who acknowlegde that Franklin is a facisnating man and played a major role in the creation of this nation, but you would never know from this book. It completely ignores his affect on the Declaration of Independence, his influence on American thinking, and most of his key inventions are skimmed over in a sentance or two. His writing style is certainly antiquated (which is understandable) but it makes it a difficult read, especially since it is boring to begin with. I think it would be a much better plan to read a biography by someone else who read through this book, save yourself the agony of getting through this story and learn more about the man then you do here.
