Written as a letter to his son, which was never finished, Franklin's account of his life from his childhood in Boston to his years in Philadelphia ends in 1757 with his first mission to England. It includes his "Top 13" moral virtues. Fredd Wayne has toured worldwide for over 20 years with his performance as Ben Franklin. Named to the 1997 Publishers Weekly list of Best Audios. 4 cassettes. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very enlightening, should be required reading for every high school student.The print is small and hard to read, but the information about and by Benjamin Franklin is incredible that one man could be that involved and informative, inventive and so unique. Rating: - an important work - should be read by all young menI have read this book myself at least twice. This book was purchased as a graduation present for a nephew.

Rating: - Franklin's informal account of his remarkable lifeIn many ways, this is, to someone coming to it for the first time, a very surprising book. For one thing, it is amazingly incomplete. Franklin is, of course, one of the most famous Americans who ever lived, and his accomplishments in a wide array of endeavors are a part of American lore and popular history. A great deal of this lore and many of his accomplishments are missing from this account of his life. He never finished the autobiography, earlier in his life because he was too busy with what he ... Read More Rating: - shallow account of a great life.no doubt about it: ben franklin was a bright fellow. brigher than me, for instance. his autobiography, however, and despite what people on amazon are saying, is a shallow piece of fluff. nothing is touched in depth as he skims from one episode to the next like he is racing to finish an unimportant task. his wife? his family? forget them. all people in his life, in fact, seem deserving of no deep consideration to mr franklin. at times he brags about himself under the guise of modesty, and it is both ...
