The Notorious Benedict Arnold: A True Story of Adventure, Heroism & Treachery Audiobook

" This was a wonderful nonfiction book. So interesting. A little heavy on the description of Revolutionary War battles for my taste, but also necessary...because the battles are large part of Benedict Arnold's story. I was amazed that what little I thought I knew about Benedict Arnold pretty much turned out to be wrong. Sheinkin really brought both Benedict Arnold - and the time period - alive. "

" BIO of traitor Arnold start in his youth, details events leading up to his dissatisfaction and finally describes the events around the treasonous offense of Arnold and Major Andre. Also tells the aftermath. Reads like an adventure story. not dry! "

" This is exactly what historical nonfiction for kids should be - very well researched, with a bare minimum of speculation or imagined conversations, but with lots of excitement and vivid details - an honest-to-goodness real life adventure story: the opposite of dry 'n' dusty history. "

" great young adult history!! I enjoyed reading the story of a "character" I knew little about... "

" I really enjoyed this book & learned a ton from it at the same time! Found it in the YA section & since I knew nothing about this man, I was interested. It was an easy read & a good one. "

" This book was well-researched and held my interest from the beginning to the end. I learned a lot about the role Benedict Arnold played in the Revolutionary War, both good and bad. I enjoy learning about history from books as well done as this one! "

" Lots of detail, but parts of it read more like a genealogy report than a biography. "

" Even though it took me a long time to read, this is a really good book about Benedict Arnold's life. The author did a great job of relating the facts in an exciting way, especially when his treachery is discovered! "

" So far this book has been working for me and I think you should read it to. This book is a great book because of the way the Author describes what is going on in the book. "

" I found myself rooting for Benedict to somehow turn out to be a good guy by the end, but alas, not so much. I empathized with him when politics kept him back, and I was amazed at how much this man did for the Revolutionary War. Well written and fascinating tale! "

" Will rate after CYBILS. "

" Great YA book for reading about the American Revolution and another perspective of Benedict Arnold. Loved this book! "

" i think this is a historicly accurate book but i think it is very boring and needs some more action in it. "

" An amazing story, amazingly told. The suddenness of Arnold's switch from war hero to traitor and all around bad guy left me feeling just as betrayed as I'm sure Washington felt. "

" An interesting history...a lust for money destroys a good man. "

" Wow . . . I had no idea how much I didn't know about the Revolutionary War or about Benedict Arnold! A fascinating read. "
