Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wit and Wisdom Indeed
What can you say about this book.........other than it's a collection of timeless sayings and thoughts from the mind of one of America's original great thinkers. This should be required reading (in all formats)for high school students if for no other reason than to have them explore humor without 4-letter words. Once read, some of these bits of wisdom will stay with you for life. Enjoy and pass along. You will be a part of re-braining this country!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sage Advice
Though Benjamin Franklin never suggests that all the words are his, his assembly of commonly used phrases and sayings provides the reader with material that will make them think. Do remember, that this doesn't read like a novel.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Gift-Returned (Poor Richard)
Given as a gift so have no input. Recipient did not care for the format of the book.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Timeless Classic
Ben Franklin's book is loaded with tips just as relevant today as they were centuries ago. You will truly be surprised at the amount of knowledge, useful knowledge, you get from this book.
