When I started this book, I wasn't sure if I would continue.  It starts out in the run down projects, with characters that are rude, crude and scary.  And everything you have ever imagined that goes on in these downtrodden neighborhoods happens.  Spouse abuse, child neglect, crime, revenge, and finally, violent death.  But then by Chapter 3, the story moves to the next step of what turns out to be an unpredictable, wild ride, all because of a little piece of paper - that just happens to have the winning numbers for the biggest lottery win ever.Each character and their back story is introduced in detail.  At first, I was getting impatient at the diversions from the main story line, but settled into the rhythm of the author.  The technique gave the reader a rest from the intensity of the action in the main story line, and builds the suspense.  In short order, I found myself picking up my Kindle at any spare moment,  I didn't even try to outguess the ending - I just enjoyed the ride!The negative reviews seem to be focused on the crude language and rough events of the first 2 chapters, and for the people highly offended by language issues, or you can't handle violent acts, you are probably better off to skip this book.  But you will be missing out of a very well written story.  In my view, it was in keeping with the environment and characters involved.  I went from thinking about deleting it un-read, to giving it a top rating, so if you can handle a view of life on the other side and like a good suspenseful ride - I think you will get caught up in this like I did.
