Review of 'A Great Improvisation' on 'Goodreads'

A Rambling Mess

This is quite likely the worst book I have read in over a decade. The author seems to have a real problem making a coherent narrative, and the poor writing is made worse by a completely unlikeable Franklin. Was I supposed to hate Ben Franklin by the end of the book? That’s exactly what happened.
