Funny, raunchy, completely politically incorrect romp through the fast food hells, strip joints, and drunken stupors that make up Lenny Kapowski's loser life. Until he wins the lottery, that is. After taking care of his hard-working parents, Lenny sets about getting revenge on all the rich, arrogant jerks that have stomped on him his whole life. Along the way, Lenny and his friends start a record label, get a serial killer sent to prison, and create some truly spectacular holiday yard displays, all in the service of revenge through being a major thorn in the side of the "perfect" little Rambling Hills housing development. This self-published book is pretty well written, though it could do with a diligent copy editor with a good stock of red pens. I also wasn't a fan of the last few paragraphs, which I felt undermined the "he's got a truly foul mouth and penchant for trouble, but he's really a good guy when it comes down to it" feel of Lenny's character. Regardless, it's worth the read.

this book is not for the easily offended. lots of cussing and blunt discussions of sex. I thought it was HILARIOUS!! a self descibed loser wins the lottery, tries to get revenge, and ends up....well i won't ruin it ....but a fun read.

The book is written well enough to engage you with the characters. Unfortunately, the main character is not one I particularly care for. A broke, lazy, self-proclaimed loser wins the lottery and takes 'revenge' on the rich, arrogant jerks who stomped on him by becoming a rich, arrogant jerk and stomping on them. It felt to me that he had become an even bigger loser, which made his actions seem pathetic rather than funny.

This is a great read for someone who is not easily offended. I laughed quite a bit and enjoyed the story immensely.
