Summary: A different focus for Baldacci but well done!
Review: Those familiar with other works by this author have come to expect FBI intrigue, Secret Service manipulations and government plots abounding. This is a little different tack for Baldacci since the focus of the story only peripherally involves the government (well, until about 2/3 of the way through). The focus of this book is a woman who has the opportunity of a lifetime, to win the rigged fictional National Lottery and get away with it. LuAnn is your heroine and is a wonderfully likable character even if not too realistic (beautiful, smart and physically powerful). The story keeps moving from beginning to end with almost no pause in the pacing of the story. It keeps you interested from beginning to end. That is why I highly recommend this book even if you are not into the government intrigue genre. Enjoy!

Summary: Give me a Break
Review: Yeah right, let me win 100 million tax free. No problem I can live in another country.

I actually liked Jackson,(Jack's son)he was cool. I didn't like the stupidity of some of the other characters, like his sister.
