I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.  This one was another example of the benefits of having a Kindle - the ability to find quality, enjoyable writing that would be unavailable without e-books.  This novel offers an entertaining, though violent, story about people chasing a winning lottery ticket.  We've all read about lives ruined by winning the big money but who imagined how many lives can be affected, and even ruined, in the pursuit of the winning ticket?  There's actually some light humor intertwined with the violence (good and bad family dynamics, for example) and a nice twist to the tale near the end.  All-in-all entertaining and highly recommended!BTW, I was surprised at the number of poor reviews but on reading them I found that the reviewers had more complaints about profanity and (perceived) racism than the actual writing itself.  In my opinion the profanity was limited and the author provided realistic dialog and characters for the scenarios presented. My suggestion: read the plot description and check out the sample text provided and if the style is not for you then skip the book.  One reviewer panned the book after admittedly reading only "a few pages".  That isn't fair to the author or to those who rely on other readers' reviews of actual content to help them select new books.
