Three Amazing Stories Told by Three Amazing Men

While the narration (and sometimes even the content) could be a bit dry, the lessons in these 3 life stories are invaluable and extraordinary.

pronounced Duquesne wrong, but great reader

I really enjoyed the autobiographies of these men.
great reader and interesting facts about each man. Henry Ford was most practical in running an industrial factory. to me, most interesting.

Title misleading, performance so-so

The title is quite misleading. Most of this book is the AB of Ford (which is very interesting). Tesla is rather short and strange (mostly "I had visions and from them invented things"). Franklin is more concise but mostly interesting when he talks about his life, instead of moralizing (which he seems to do a lot).

Regarding the performance. Not only is it rather monotonous, but the narrator seems to get confused from time to time, repeat words or phrases (at one point a whole paragraph if not more was read twice).

Good Collection

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

It's a short Collection of autobiography's about three of history's greatest influences from different times in history.
The narrator did a good job with this especially with the different facts about the persons in the book.

Excellent collection

This was a good way to get exposed to 3 great men. Surprisingly, Henry Ford's was the most insightful!

Hearing a man in his own words

Always enlightened to hear a man describe his own life and what they believe to be the most important aspects. All three men changed the time in which they lived.
