A review by booksncrannies_official
My Brother Sam Is Dead by Christopher Collier, James Lincoln Collier

2.0

A novel that gives a different view of the American War for Independence, 'My Brother Sam Is Dead' delivers a raw and devastating portrayal of life during a war. The story clearly illustrates the division of the country, towns, and families over the issue of loyalty to the King of Britain or fighting to gain independence. Being told from mostly a Tory position, the novel gives readers a different and thought-provoking narrative. However, I must say that this book was a letdown both in its frequent (and I mean frequent) use of inappropriate language and ending that lacked any kind of literary quality. The story itself, though, did prove interesting.
