bsmorris's review against another edition

I didn't get to completely finish this book but I hope to go back to it the next time some of my students choose to read it. What I read was really interesting and helped me understand Jefferson's ideals much better. However, someday I hope to have time to read a biography of Jefferson, too, to fill in the details he has glossed over, since his focus is not a comprehensive story of his own life.

I liked Thomas Jefferson's voice much more than Benjamin Franklin's. Though it did not paint as vivid of a picture of colonial life as Franklin's autobiography, it did have amazing insight into the workings of a colonial assembly. Definitely enjoyed reading it more.
