Recenzii

"Horn Book Magazine" Fanfare List, Best of 2010
"School Library Journal", Best Children's Books of 2010
* "Sheinkin sees Arnold as America's 'original action hero' and succeeds in writing a brilliant, fast-paced biography that reads like an adventure novel. . . . The author's obvious mastery of his material, lively prose and abundant use of eyewitness accounts make this one of the most exciting biographies young readers will find." --"Kirkus Reviews", starred review
* "American history is brought to life in this engaging story of revolution and treason. . . . "The Notorious Benedict Arnold" is likely to make readers want to learn more about the American Revolution and its players, great and small." --"School Library Journal", starred review
* "Several complex political, social, and military themes emerge, one of the most prominent being that within the Continental army, often simplistically depicted as single-minded patriots, beat hearts scheming with political machinations that are completely familiar today. . . . Arnold's inexorable clash with Gates and his decision to turn traitor both chill and compel." --"Horn Book Magazine", starred review
"History junkies are in for a treat when they pick up this lively, highly readable biography of the U.S.'s most vilified traitor. . . . A worthy addition to all libraries." --"Booklist"
