The last book by SF Grand Master. Definetely not his best. Not much evidence of science fiction either. Both Arthur C. Clarke and Frederik Pohl have written better stuff. Just goes on to prove that 'one plus one is not always equal to two'.

I enjoyed Ashby's chatty writing style. She provides plenty of context for young readers, so they will be able to understand where Franklin falls in American history and why he is important. She makes him interesting from the start, and without any annoying fictionalized dialogue. There is a nice summative section in the back that details Franklin's major contributions to science and our national philosophy. Favorite tidbit: Franklin became a vegetarian so that he would have more money available to purchase books!

OK, I know that it is now an Oprah's book club book, but I started reading it literally 3 days before she announced it. I couldn't put it down and finished it in 4 days. It reminded me a bit of Orxy and Crake, but with Cormac's unmatched writing.
