Summary: My Brother Sam is Dead
Review: The book My Brother Sam is Dead by James Lincoln Collier and Cristtopher Collier took a while to get me interested. It's about the Revolutionary War in the town of Redding.
The Meeker family characters you are introduced to are Sam, Tim, "Life", and Mother. Sam and "Life", the father, always got into arguments, so Sam runs away to the military with his friends.
I liked the way the authors did such a good job with detail and having it be so realistic. I felt like I was in the book. I wish they would have something more exciting in the first chapter.
The authors did well in telling how the Revolutionary War really began. I thought about what side I would be fighting on. They told about many people who would die for their country. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys war novels and history.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Brother Sam Is Dead
Review: My Brother Sam is Dead by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier is a five star book. This book was a page turner. The book was thrilling and exciting.
It's 1777 and the Revolutionary war is taking place. In a Tory town called Redding there is a family made of a father, a mother, and two sons Sam, and Tim. When Sam leaves his home to fight in the war as a Patriot Tim finds himsef in a daze. He can't decide which side he's on. He could be like his father and be a loyalist. He could be like Sam and be a Patriot. Also, there's his mother, who didn't pick a side. Will Tim's family reunite or will they lose dear friends.
I love how you felt mad, sad, and happy at the same time. At times I found myself talking, shouting, and even crying for the characters. I know they weren't real, but they had real feelings.
When I read this book I knew Tim and his family had some hardships and I could ever be that brave. Tim tried to help his family even if it meant death.

Rating: 4 stars

The Revolutionary War took place in the 1700's. Sam Meeker and his father get into an argument. Sam goes to war to fight the British.

Summary: My Brother Sam is Dead
Review: The book My Brother Sam is Dead by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier is a thrilling Revolutionary War story. It discribes the exciting and sad war history of our country.

This story, about a boy who goes off to serve as a continental soldier even though his father is a loyalist, is a semifictional and emotional story. Find out real names of generals, how real people died, and much more.

This book is very good and shows the love for your country and family.The many opinions in this story makes it interesting. I am not a history person, but I still enjoyed it a lot.

This book discribes many different things. It really discribes good leadership and love. Through my opinion I wonder if I could have been as brave as the boys in this book. This book was very fast reading.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My Brother Sam is Dead
Review: My Brother Sam is Dead, by James Collier and Christopher is an adrenturous story about the Revolutionary War.

Sam, Tim, mother, and "Life" go through a heart breaking time in a little town called Redding. It all started when Sam went to war. The book has excellent facts about the Revolutionary War.

The book caught me attention because of the exciting adventures Tim goes through. It was very good, but confusing in some parts. All together, it showed how hard it was or people in the Revolutionary times. I would recomed this book for ages 9 and up.
