Franklin de David Freeman Hawke
I don't know if I could've suffered through the 10 years of politics in England had I not been listening to an audio book. Other than that though, Franklin is a compelling story of the complex man that was Benjamin Franklin. A founding father of America and polymath, Franklin tries to show all aspects of the great man and display his vast knowledge in science, politics and literature.

Interesting at times, however there are many small chapters and the the various subjects of them are covered in a fairly cursory way. Still, a good overview of the changes to technology during this period.

The language is lively and interesting, even in the places where long selections of diaries are quoted - the author went to some trouble to make the quotes as seamless as possible with the the rest of the text.
