The Winner discussion

This is the second time I have read this and there are still some details I am confused about, I know why he did it, I just don't get why he didn't rig it for himself to win

Well, for one, he couldn't win it himself multiple times.

This is actually one of my favorites by Baldacci. I enjoy all of his books but this one still stands out as a rememberable page turner for me.

This is definitely one of my favorites! Read it a couple of times.

I normally love David Baldacci's books, however I didn't even finished this one....

It is good just very strange

The worst Baldacci book IMO,I usually love his books as he is usually a consistent entertainer though not the greatest writer I have read.The biggest problem with the book was all the characters were cliched (which could be forgiven) but at the same time they were incredibly stupid which really ruined it.

My favorite Baldacci book ever. Loved the plot and the action. Hollywood missed a good one here IMO.

I have wondered if the lottery industry bought the rights to the story from Baldacci to keep anyone from making a movie of it. Some people could be persuaded to think that lotteries could be fixed some way, and if enough people felt that way then that could cause fewer to participate.

I'm not a big Baldacci fan, but I loved this one. It's just a fun read. Yes, you do have to suspend your reality for a bit, but isn't that what fiction is about.

Agreed. I really dug this tale!

Although intriguing, I thought this book was silly and not very good at all. Very disappointed.

It has been a long time since I have read this one but in my mind it has always been my favorite. I was surprised at some of the negative reviews here but, to each their own. Maybe if I read it again I would feel different.

i enjoyed reading this book

I enjoyed it ... The story moved along at a good pace and kept me turning the pages.

It was good, just strange in how he arranged the lottery winning and why he didn't just rig it for himself to win
