2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I found the booklet comfortable and satisfying to read By Fred I'm not a boxing fan. But, I bought the book because the author was a junior high school classmate. I haven't seen him in decades, but recall that he was quite fond of all sports and had aspirations of becoming a sports reporter. The author's account of Billy Papke seemed to me to have realness and intrigue. For me, that kept the reading at a smooth and anticipatory pace. Except for a bit of repetitiousness regarding characterization, I found the booklet comfortable and satisfying to read. The numerous newspaper clippings and photos are a bonus. Fifteen rounds (chapters) of boxing history! Quite well done Larry.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book with a twist. Great narrative and highly recommended. By Moises Hernandez My mother gifted me this book as I used to be a boxing fanatic in my teenager years. I had never heard of Billy Papke until now. The book is very well written and definitely grasps your attention. It is clear that the author of this book is a boxing fanatic and really took the time to gather facts of Billy Papke.The book illustrates some classic photos, which leads me to think the author really devoted his time and passion to this book. Billy Papke, "The Illinois Thunderbolt", is a book about the life of Billy Papke and his boxing career. Without giving the book away, not only is the narrative about boxing, but also about the twisted life of Billy Papke and his tragic end. I highly recommend this book not only to boxing enthusiast, but also to folks who like some twist and tragedy in the narrative. This book really deserves five stars. It kept me interested and I enjoyed every chapter of the book. Hopefully the author will be writing similar narratives to this one.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Illinois Thunderbolt is an excellent account of an almost forgotten Hall of Fame boxer By Amazon Customer Illinois Thunderbolt is an excellent account of an almost forgotten Hall of Fame boxer. It is brief but informative and interesting. The author is a boxing enthusiast and can be proud of bringing to life the story of Billy Papke. The book is an easy read and is enhanced by a collection of great pictures. Boxing fans will also want this book to get a more balanced picture of the rivalry between Papke and Stanley Ketchel. Prospective readers from Billy's home towns in Illinois (Spring Valley and Kewanee) will have added reason to read this book.
