Readers who love to read about American history will fancy this third book in the Finding Billy Battles trilogy. It really sounds interesting from the reviewer's description; however, I'll skip this one for now.

Sounds like a rich historical-based fiction novel. However, I feel I'll better grasp the concept if I read the first two books. Thanks for making the review an enjoyable read.

This sounds well worth a read, but it would be extremely helpful if you could indicate whether it's necessary to read the first two books first or if this one can stand alone.

It's the third book of Finding Billy series. I haven't read the first two but still i didn't lost interest in this book . The storyline is set in 1910-1920 period . I don't like period books but I seriously loved this book . The description of characters , places , food are done exceptionally good . The book is full of mysteries . I will give it 3.8 out of 4 stars.

It's easy to spot the enthusiasm of the reviewer and as a lover of histories myself, I believe this would make a good read for me!

Wow! This review is such a glowing one. I am almost tempted, but I am not a fan of historical fiction. From what I have seen Ted will need to give fans some more stories.

The storyline sounds quite thrilling and suspenseful. I like how the author has merged the fictional parts with accurate historical data. Thank you for the detailed review.

I think it would be necessary to read the first two books to be able to appreciate this book. So I will have to defer reading this book for a while.

I love historical fiction, and the setup sounds a bit like another historical fiction series that I’ve been enjoying recently, Billy Gogan, American: A Novel and Billy Gogan Gone fer Soldier by Roger Higgins. Maybe I’ll enjoy this series also since they sound to be in the same genre/kind of books, but I think I’ll want to read the first two books before I get to this one, so I’ll put this one on my “to read” list for later. Thank you for the helpful review.

I love historical fiction, but I've never read one written in diary format. This certainly makes this book special.

I'm not a fan of historical books; I 'll pass.
Thanks for the review.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. You sure do make this book sound compelling. I am not a fan of the time period, but the plot intrigues me...

Wow!!! Sounds quite impressive, from the review I would have wished it was a stand-alone novel and not having to read the sequel of his book.
Nevertheless congrats on making the BOTD

You have piqued my interest about Billy's disappearance and what was going with that!! The references to history also sound intriguing. Thanks for the thorough and motivating review of this trilogy.
