Title: Lottery
Author: Wood, Patricia
Year: 2007
B's Stars: 3 of 10
Plot:
Perry Crandall, a slow (but not retarded) man wins $12M in the lottery. Shortly after winning Perry must decide who are his friends, who are not - and what to do with his new life.
Review:
This was on a 'best book of 2007' - and if this is a best book, 2007 was a down year!
I have to think Forest Gump is Ms. Wood's favorite movie. Shall we compare her book to that movie?
1. Slightly above retarded hero.
2. Vietnam plays a large role.
3. Family member sacrifices everything to keep them in the mainstream.
4. Comes into a lot of money.
5. Unaware sex scene
6. Ends up with his love (even if that love isn't reciprocated)
I hope for her next book she watches a better movie first! I was not impressed.
