Summary: Historical-fiction book
Review: I read the book My Brother Sam is Dead as a required histroical-fiction book. My Brother Sam is dead is filled with suspence and knowledge. It is told form the point of view of a young teenage boy named Timmy. It contained events from the Revolutionary War that are both exciting and ineresting. It showed the prospective of both sides of the war, Patriots and Loyalists. It will make the reader decide what side of the war he or she would be on if they lived during that time. My Brother Sam is dead ends with a ironic, yet sad adventure. If yearning for more historical-fiction, the book Brady is the tale of a heroic bor who comes across the secret of the Underground Railroad. I loved this book because it was easy to put myself in this boy's shoes because i have known secrets that i knew that others wouldn't want me to know.

Summary: I tried, but just couldn't give it that fifth star...
Review: I wanted to love this book. I have heard about this book since I was a child, and I finally read it as an adult. I wanted desperatly to give this book a 5-star rating; however, in places, I found it predictable and just a little contrived. The 4-star rating I gave the book is certainly enough that I would without hesitation recommend it to other readers; it is still an excellent story of this turbulent time, and provides some disturbing food for thought about the effects the war had on individual people. Recommended for young and old alike.

Summary: Best Book Ever Written!
Review: Of all the books I have ever read in my entire life, I have to say that My Brother Sam Is Dead is by far the best piece of literature ever written. From the first time I picked the book up, I couldn't it put down. I read this book numerous times since 7th grade. As a college student right now, I still think that this is the best book ever written, even after reading so many great books of literature and bestsellers. I really would wish to see a movie version of this book someday. Everything in this book was excellent from conveying the American Revolutionary War to how Tim grew up despite the fact that his brother Sam was missing. Congradulations to James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier wherever you are!

Summary: Good story about the American Revolution
Review: I liked this book because it shows you what it was like to have lived during the Revolutionary War. The characters were very realistic. I identified with Tim because he was so undecided and torn about which side to go to. It was VERY good and I recommend it to children of all ages.

Summary: If you like a lot about wars than read My Brother Sam is Dea
Review: Michael Yeomelakis Summary Group # 61 I'm reviewing the book My Brother Sam is Dead It is about the Revolutionary War. The characters are Sam, father, mother, and a younger brother. Sam found out that there is a bunch of Lobsterbacks which are the British fighting against the Patriots. There are sign-ups for joining the war. Sam signs up without asking his folks and tells them later at dinner. James Lincoln Collier writes are always to teach a lesson. In My Brother Sam is Dead the author teaches Sam a lesson to join the army. When the Lobsterbacks found him in a tent they shot him. They were so close to him that when they fired the rifle his cloths caught on fire and the bullet went into his chest and Sam died. When his father found out what had happened to him, he wasn't the least surprised because he had a premonition this would happen.
