 My Brother Sam is Dead... along with this book's interest level. November 30, 2007
Beach Kids (USA)
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 that I would ever actually read this book out of my own free will.
This book is set in a time you cannot relate to, and modern day young adults like myself will find it incredibly dreary. The main character Tim's obvious immaturity and stubborness is frustrating, and ultimatey results in poor character development on the author's part.
Over 120 children at my school are reading this book, and I have not talked to one that actually enjoys it, in fact, many groan when the time comes to read it.
My one warning is: if you are a teacher looking for a good book for your class to read, do NOT choose My Brother Sam is Dead, trust me, your students will thank you.
If you love dull, dreary, and deathly boring, you will love My Brother Sam is Dead.
 Excellent book April 27, 2001

A college man runs off to join the army. Suddenly Sam's younger brother realizes he must turn against his brother or father. Sam is determined to stay in army and win the war. Sam coming from a small Tory town decides to join the rebels. He must leave his brother, father, mother, and girlfriend. He always tries to contact his brother and girlfriend and mother after his father dies on a prison ship. It tells of the struggles trying to run a tavern with a mother and 13 year-old boy. Just one thing the boy wants to rescue his brother from being killed by his own people.
This is the best book I have ever read! February 16, 1999

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.
 Great for International Students November 12, 1998
I am using this book with my international students in an attempt to get them to read and learn about the Revolutionary War. These intermediate-level high school students are riveted and I have been quite pleased that they are in fact learning American history and loving the book.
