 COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN !!!!!!! July 6, 2008
It's one of those books you get hooked on right away. My sister won't read anything unless it reaches out and holds her captive right from the beginning. This did.

Good for What it Is: Easy to Read Fiction June 3, 2008
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.
The Winner by David Baldacci May 3, 2008
Wow, what a thrill ride this book was! I couln't put it down! It is so well written, and fun to read from the very first chapter. Baldacci is an amazing story teller!!!
good story January 28, 2008
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.
