Summary: My Brother Sam Is Dead
Review: My Brother Sam Is Dead is an okay book that took place during the Revelutionary War. It was written by James and Christopher Collier. It moved a little too slow for me.
This book was about a family torn apart by the war. When the dad sides with the Loyalists, and the big brother Sam goes to fight for the Patriots, which side should the little brother go to?
This book had many different characters in it. On a scale of one to ten I would give it a six.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A low 4
Review: This book is at the reading level of about...4th or 5th grade. It doesn't have any hard vocabulary, but at least things do happen. It is about a boy named Tim and his brother named Sam. The family is torn apart by the American Revolution and their father was kidnapped by these cow-boys. The story was not exactly extremely exciting, but it doesn't really bore you to death either. So it deserved a low 4, or a strong 3 if you'd like to think of it that way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Brother Sam is Dead
Review: ...I recommend this book for other readers because it talks about how a family can get messed up by a war. It has a sad ending, but it is still interesting to read. I learned from this story is that wars are really bad to have.
My favorite part of this story was when Tim was trying to save Sam from the execution. At night, Tim was trying to used his bayonet to kill an American soldier to free Sam...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Brother Sam Is Dead
Review: This is a great book. It is one of the best books I have read. It is a very good description of how a life during the American Revolution. His is a good historical fiction book because it gives a lot of information about that time. The author obviously did his homework. It is also a good book to read because it has a plot...

Summary: My Brother Sam is Dead
Review: The book I have just finished was not something I recommend. I read My Brother Sam is Dead.

In this story, the character that stood out the most throughout the book was Tim. This story took place durring the Revolutionary War, which was not a good time for colonistsor anyone really in that time period. Durring this book, Tim's brother, Sam, is in the Army in the colonies, and this makes Tim confused. Time looks up to sam as a soldier, thinking war was all fun and games.

As this story moves n, Tim realizes the reality of war ast comes closer to his home and the tavern the family owns. Tim's father and brother draw further apart being that the father was a tory and sam is a colonist fighting for freedom. The differences between tim's father and brother are what make up the moral of this book.

I would not recommend this book because the title of the book gave the story away, which was mainly the death of Tim's brother Sam.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not what I expected
Review: This book didn't turn out the way I expected. I found it to be boring, and predictable. The title gives out the whole plot for the book, which is basically just why Sam got in trouble and his attempts at escaping his fate. This book isn't very good at all, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: My Brother Sam Is Dead Review
Review: This book was very sad, and was filled with dying and bloodshed. Tim Meeker lived an ordinary life until war came to his town. His family suffered great losses from the Revolutionary War, and his family is caught in the middle of the war. I disliked this book. It was too gory. If you like action books you may like it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: My Brother Sam is Dead: Review
Review: I really enjoyed the book "My Brother Sam is Dead." To me this is the type of book that really grabs your attention. For instance, you can't start one chapter and leave in the middle of it. This book can be described in many different ways. If i had to write down what type of genre this book wa i would have many different answers like an adventure, a romance (in a way) and this story really could have happened in real life. I enjoy it the most because it really has the main characters fighting for what they balieve in no matter what any one says, they just don't change their minds. The author made it an interesting because it is a book that younger teenagers can understand and enjoy but also something that grown-ups could enjoy. -HF-
