"I don't really like this book. I am reading it for school and I have no idea why the title is what it is if sam doesnt die until the end. the summary on the back of the book made me want to read it but what i expected the book to be about is totally different than what the book is actually about. I thought sam would join the war and die. then tim would have to choose between fighting with the patriots or staying loyal to king george III. but no! hes at home doing chores while worrying about sam... who doesnt sdie until the end of the book!!! and maybe i dont like it because historical fiction isnt one of my favorite genres."
"Best book ever it had action and made you experience how it feels to be in the middle of a war were your brother(Sam) joins an army your family are against on.This book shows how Sam ,Tim's big brother decides to join the British army to support his believe to Britain colonies power over America. Sam causes desperation to his family were they have no choice but to let him go. This makes Tim the man of the house were he helps his father and deal with the Britain army's curtly to the people. When Sam comes back he is put to death because of not fallowing the rules were he screws his self and leaves his family with pain. This book is awesome and i highly reccomand you to read it to experience Tim and his family's feelings on Sam's decision."
"I am reading my Brother Sam is Dead by James Lincoln Collier. I am liking this book because I love to read and write stories about the American Revolution. A really good example about a American Revolution movie is The Patriot. This historical fiction book takes place in a town in the colonies. A boy named Timmy has a brother named Sam who wants to go to the war, but his father says that they are English men and that he wont go to fight with his own "brothers" and that he wont tollerate treason in his house. Sam finnaly decides to still his fathers gun and escape from his house probably forever."
