From Library Journal

JoLayne Lucks has one of two winning lottery tickets each worth a cool $14 million. She plans to spend it rescuing a local plot of swampland from a strip mall developer. The holders of the other winning ticket, however, are Bode Gazzer and his sidekick, Chubb, who want the whole $28 million. Afire with paramilitary fervor, Bode and Chubb need the cash to bankroll the start-up of the White Clarion Aryans before NATO takes over America with a handicapped parking sticker scam. They steal JoLayne's ticket, but before they can cash it she mounts a hot pursuit with the help of local journalist Tom Krome. As they chase Bode and Chubb through the swamps and sleazy dives, dodging bullets and local religious fanatics, Tom and JoLayne leave a wake of mayhem and hilarity. This is Hiaasen (Naked Came the Manatee, LJ 1/97) at his wacky best?a steamy amalgam of raunch, righteousness, and riotous laughs. Highly recommended.

From AudioFile

Hiaasen's comic novels are like a captivating circus performance. He keeps piling on more and more improbable characters and loopy plot developments while somehow never losing his command of even a single part. His latest uproarious invention begins when his resourceful heroine, JoLayne Lucks, finds herself with the winning Florida lottery ticket and, soon after, the attention of two grungy, dim-witted white supremacists eager to finance their own militia. Wilson provides entertaining, textured characterizations for Hiaasen's vivid cast, which also includes a newspaper reporter, a Hooter's girl and the owners of a commercial religious shrine. The disappointment is Wilson's delivery of the main narrative voice--he sounds like a 1950's news announcer with none of the irony and bite that make Hiaasen a singular pleasure. M.O.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Lucky me, Oct. 12 2006
This review is from: Lucky You (Mass Market Paperback)
. . . that I got to read this excellent novel. Warning: If you want a realistic plot, look somewhere else. Hiassen is a masterstoryteller that will give you quirk on top of quirk, the way McCrae does in his "Katzenjammer" or the way Sedaris might in some of his books ("Naked" or "Me Talk Pretty") but Hiassen is more of a novelist. Here's the plan: Take two lottery winners, give them totally different goals, have one of the winners want ALL of it, and add some wacked out KKK-like group to the mix. Sound fantastic? It is. First rate and good stuff, all. If you want great writing and fun, this is the place.

Par "paulstridelee" (Kansas City, MO) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Lucky You (Mass Market Paperback)
Whenever you've read a lot of books by one author (and Hiaasen has written quite a few), you tend to get nervous. Well, the first three or four were great, but what about this next one, you think to yourself? It's like waiting for lightening to strike--you know it's got to happen some time and you dread it. You KNOW you're going to finally run across a book by this author that you don't like. You KNOW he's finally going to run out of steam.

But he doesn't.

I'm happy to report that LUCKY YOU is just as good as any of the other Hiaasen books (think SKIN TIGHT or HOOT) and this guy just keeps going like the Energizer bunny.

With the same great writing, style, humor, and insight into the south that are found in Jackson McCrae's books (THE BARK OF THE DOGWOOD) Hiaasen gives us a wonderful if not disturbing portrait of the wacky characters that make up the southern-most region of our United States. Few living outside this region will recognize that Hiaasen isn't making this stuff up--for some of us, it's too real!

All I can say is, buy this book and read it. If you're fortunate to, then . . . Lucky you.

5.0étoiles sur 5 I hit the jackpot, Juil 12 2004
This review is from: Lucky You (Mass Market Paperback)
I had never read a book by this author before, trust me it will not be my last. The characters are all incredibly funny and fun to read.

The basic plot runs like this a peaceful veterinarian in the town of Grange Florida has just won the lottery 14 million dollars. She is a women and black. Nothing big ever goes on in her quite little town except for the busloads of tourists coming to view the local favored religious shrines.

There would not be story without a conflict which arrives in a pair of two skinheads who just so happen to have the other winning lottery ticket. The two racists steal the ticket and rough her up.

Now she has to get it back, with help from an investigative reporter, a friend in the ATF and a waitress at Hooter's.

My impression-I liked the characters, some of the one-liners are classic. The book would not be as good if the author were not as prolific but mystery writers as a general rule have to be. The book is not without flaws the largest of which is that it is too long in my view but the conclusion does not feel rushed or convenient.

If enjoy a good fun read treat yourself to this

This was my first Carl Hiaasen book, so maybe that's why I'm so fond of it. But I don't think so.

The hero/heroine are delightful. The villains despicable. Read more
