Getting to read Franklin's little known writings was great. However, seeing the author add a "what would Franklin say" game at the end was disappointing.

I struggled to get through this one.

Some of that is just that I struggle with "reading the room" sometimes, but it's also old English, which is hard to read. It was cool to see new facets of Benjamin Franklin, surely, but I think I've had enough now.

Meh. Interesting to a point but I found myself bored not very far in. The title is just about the best part of this book.

What can be said about our Yankee Poppa Ben that hasn't already been said? We could use more like him!

I loved the Franklin sections but was really annoyed by the editor's introduction and essay at the end. It's a little too anti-government for my taste.
