Review: Fart Proudly: Writings of Benjamin Franklin You Never Read in School

User Review  - Erin Lale - Goodreads

The humorous and satirical short nonfiction of Ben Franklin is definitely a collection worth reading. Ignore the last part, titled The Dream, though. It's pure unverified personal gnosis. It's ... Read full review

Review: Fart Proudly: Writings of Benjamin Franklin You Never Read in School

User Review  - Allison W. - Goodreads

I didn't finish this book. I gave it the 20% litmus test and just couldn't finish it. Maybe it's just too hot for Revolutionary language style (we're having a heat wave). It just wasn't for me right now. Read full review

User Review  - Jeff Shackelford - Goodreads

Getting to read Franklin's little known writings was great. However, seeing the author add a "what would Franklin say" game at the end was disappointing. Read full review
