5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book I have ever read!, 16 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: My Brother Sam is Dead (Hardcover)
I liked it because it was very exciting and I learned a lot about The Revolutionary War.I also learned how people lived in those days. I listened to the tape of the book. I thought John C. Brown did very well in reading the book. I think we should not fight in wars. We should just try to talk things out. I could relate to Timothy a lot because I am a Timothy too.

My Brother Sam is dead is perhaps one of the most boring books I have ever read. Perhaps it would have been different if it were not an English reading assignment, but I doubt... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but didn't know about the two versions!
Very few books are dedicated to this time frame in our nation's history. I ordered a partial class set to augment the few our school already owned. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty historically accurate
My Brother Sam is Dead is pretty good for being a book for young adults. It isn't very hard to read and tells an individual story of the Revolutionary War. This book isn't bad.

3.0 out of 5 stars Boring, but somewhat interesting book
This book was boring, except for a few events that kept you hooked for about 1 minute, but then it went back to its slow, dull pace which is through out the whole book. Read more
