Book Review: Autobiograhy of Benjamin Franklin

I recently finished Benjamin Franklins autobiography.  And even though I am convinced Benjamin Franklin is a interesting person and an important historical figure, his autobiography was not a super fun read.  

It was just a little boring and tedious reading through the details of his buisness and early life as a printer.  I was really hoping he was going to talk about the revolutionary war and creating the constitution, but he never got that far. At the end of the book he is critical of how the british were managing America, but stopped just short of the revolution. 

I also wanted to learn about his science experiements.  He did talk a little about his success in science but hardly discussed what the success was. 

I did enjoy the short section where he details his attempt to become perfect through goal setting. It made me want to be better at keeping goals, or at least at keeping record of my goals.  Also, throughout the book, there were many little fun anecdotes which were a little  entertaining. 

All in all, I think I woudl probably would have been better off reading a biography of Bejamin Franklin, rather than his autobiography
