    An interesting life indeed. Narration a bit jerky, not so smooth flowing but a good effort.

    couldn't get past the narrator's voice in the intro so can't comment on contents

    He was an intelligent, resourceful man! I was disappointed that he lost parts of his autobiography and felt like a lot was missing.

    Franklin's biography is of course one of the staples when it comes to learning about the Founders. It's short and interesting, and wonderful to hear his life from his own perspective. However, this narration pretty well puts you to sleep. Very monotone. Read the actual book, or pay for a better reading of it, lest you come away disliking this gem of an autobiography.

    A truly well written and interesting book fatally compromised by the constant commercial advertisements from the publisher prior to each and every chapter! To compound the injury, the narrator sounds like Hal from 2001 Space Odyssey. I'd prefer to read the hard cover version so as to enjoy Dr. Franklin's thoughts and experiences without the distractions of the narrator and publisher in this audio version.

    The book was great, very interesting. The narration was for the most part decent, but at times very monotonous, and pausing at inappropriate times.

    I do not see this book as an autobiography. It does not cover his whole life
