Product Description
She is 20, beautiful, dirt-poor, and hoping for a better life for her infant daughter when LuAnn Tyler is offered the gift of a lifetime, a $100 million lottery jackpot. All she has to do is change her identity and leave the U.S. forever. It's an offer she dares to refuse....until violence forces her hand and thrusts her into a harrowing game of high stakes, big money subterfuge. It's a price she won't fully pay....until she does the unthinkable and breaks the promise that made her rich. For if LuAnn Tyler comes home, she will be pitted against the deadliest contestant of all: the chameleon-like financial mastermind who changed her life. And who can take it away at will....The Winner

Good for What it Is: Easy to Read Fiction, 2008-06-03
I think a lot of the one and two star review for this book are a bit silly. If anyone read this book thinking they were going to be reading anything at all realistic, they were thinking silly thoughts to begin with. When you know the premise is that someone fixes the lottery of $100 million and a few other select details, one should quickly come to realize this is mass market fiction, not literature. This is a very good book for what it is: mass market fiction. I found it to be a great page-turner even though nothing about it was believable. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these reviewers would knock science fiction books for being unrealistic. People like me love these books because they're fun to read and I don't have to think at all to enjoy them.

good story, 2008-01-28
I read The Camel Club at the end of last year, and I thought that this book was a little slower (especially in the middle). Also, I'm not sure why Baldacci always has a character whose super-strong (as evidenced by his/her handshake), but it was a little distracting when he kept describing LuAnn's strength in this book. Overall, though, this book's movie-like plot made it a good read.

GOOD OLD FASHION FUN, 2008-01-21
The more I read, the more I could not put this book down. I was already a fan of David Baldacci and this book did not disappoint. All the characters are likable and interesting. The story has a great villian. At the end, it really keeps you wondering which one of the supporting characters will survive. Some reviews have mentioned unrealistic aspects of the story, however, it is categorized as fiction and thus was meant to entertain, not tell a real life story. Like most fiction, you will not enjoy it if you take the story line too serious.
It does a good job of relating what it would be like to come into a lot of money by dishonest means. One of the underlining themes is that you need more than money to be happy and that often times it is not until you have some that you truly realize it. I personally felt vested emotionally in the characters and wanted good for them.
I highly recommend it and hope you enjoy it as much as me.
