What I love about Lottery is that it is much more than a novel about a windfall affecting a simple soul - it's a book about a stupendous event affecting a great number of people, especially the reader.

Wonderful...Perry L. Crandall, the underdog of Lottery, is profoundly lovable...so vivid and funny and poignant and joyful...the thinking man's guide to a happy life.

It has bags of charm

A witty yet poignant social commentary where the empty value of money is set against the heart-warming traits of an unquestioningly loyal soul.

Superbly written, and moving in its simplicity.

imbued with humour and likeability.

Part Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-time with more than a touch of Forrest Gump...those who enjoyed Mark Haddon's debut are likely to fall in love with big-hearted Perry.
