Benjamin Franklin was not only a super-human. He was also full of life till his last days, and one can still feel it in his writings, close to 300 years later. His Autobiography is unfinished. It ends abruptly at around the year 1757, so of leaves out some of the great stuff, such as his rol and experiences in the American Revolution and the War of Independence. I’ve certainly missed that a lot, as I would’ve loved to know about it from his own words.

Franklin’s Autobiography is not a great book, even though his writing style is engaging. However, his life was indeed great, and he himself was a great man, which makes worth the read.
