Lottery Bewertungen

What I love about Lottery is that it is much more than a novel about a windfall affecting a simple soul - it's a book about a stupendous event affecting a great number of people, especially the reader. * Paul Theroux *
Wonderful...Perry L. Crandall, the underdog of Lottery, is profoundly lovable...so vivid and funny and poignant and joyful...the thinking man's guide to a happy life. * Washington Post *
It has bags of charm * Bookseller *
A witty yet poignant social commentary where the empty value of money is set against the heart-warming traits of an unquestioningly loyal soul. * Easy Living *
Superbly written, and moving in its simplicity. * Psychologies *
