Summary: Fun!
Review: This book is simply just a lot of fun. Deflates the idea of historical personnages being grim faced people.
Rating: 
Summary: Skip the last chapter
Review: An good collection of some of Ben's works. But the author uses this as a cover for hiw own political diatribe in the last chapter. There are other, better books that give a more complete look a Ben's life. Try them first.

Summary: Ben Doesn't Cut the Cheese With Me!!
Review: As a person who is very embarrassed to fart, which causes me great physical distress, I was hoping the great Benjamin Franklin would get me to loosen up about this topic we all deal with (some more than others). But he just couldn't bowel me over. I will have to look at other inspiration, probably "The Gas We Pass: The Story of Farts" (available through Amazon.com). If that stinks, then I'll have to loop the audiotape of Paula Abdul letting one rip during a radio interview about eight years ago. Life is gas, isn't it!

Summary: Delightful
Review: As soon as I got this book I was so happy. I am still not going to fart proudly in public but I really love this book!

Summary: An ode to gas!
Review: Brilliant! A master piece! Picasso, Freud, Plato, Ceasar, and yes......Japikse. A true intellectual thinker who conveys his topic through enlightening literature. This work will garner awards from various organiztions, and without a doubt earn a Pulitzer. If you are one of the elite who truly enjoys "blowing out a stinky" you will love this book.

Summary: The book is about the Ben Franklin I wish I knew in school
Review: Fart Proudly is a collection of Ben Franklin's lesser known but most interesting writings. They cover a variety of subjects but all exhibit Franklin's questioning nature and many show a sense of humor I never guessed present in Ben. The book's title is derived from a letter he wrote to the scholars at the Royal Collages in England, whom he considered petty and constipated. Highly recommended.

Summary: There is nothing funny about farting.
Review: For some people, farting is a very serious problem. I have a friend who is unable to control himself and simply farts and farts and farts. It is very embarrassing for him. Doctors say that it is all in his head, but it's not.

Summary: Not What You Think......
Review: I found these works by Franklin to be very enlightening. The title may throw some off track, but it's not potty humour from one of America's most beloved statesmen. The title instead alludes more to figurative reference regarding the social conditions of Dr. Franklin's day. In today's society where political correctness is reaching new, dizzying heights, it's refreshing to read such down to earth philosophy and witticism as pertinent now as it was then. This short, easy read I highly recommend to anyone. You'll find many hidden treasures in the 127 pages, and trust me, it's not what you think..... A tip of the cap to Carl Japikse, especially for the closing chapter "The Dream", told very much in the stylings of The Book of Revelations.
