Representaion Supposing Books Lottery

Perry's IQ is only 76, but he's not stupid. His grandmother taught him everything he needs to know to survive: She taught him to write things down so he won't forget them. She taught him to play the lottery every week. And, most important, she taught him whom to trust. When Gram dies, Perry is left orphaned and bereft at the age of thirty-one. Then his weekly Washington State Lottery ticket wins him 12 million dollars, and he finds he has more family than he knows what to do with. Peopled with characters both wicked and heroic who leap off the pages, Lottery is a deeply satisfying, gorgeously rendered novel about trust, loyalty, and what distinguishes us as capable.

Evaluate Appertaining To Books Lottery

Perry L. Crandall is a slow-witted, simple man with honest intentions. His thoughts and feelings are revealed as he narrates the story, Lottery. Although he may be on the slow side of life when it comes to figuring things out, (he has an I.Q. of 76) he is a sincere and kind person who deeply cares about those he loves - mainly his grandmother (gram) and a few close friends. Perry functions and flourishes under the constant care of his grandmother. After her death, he lovingly recollects her

This is a rather sweet novel, about a slow person but doesn't sound authentic to me. The protagonist (Perry L. Crandall the L is for Lucky) was very likable, and his friends were loyal. His relatives except Gram were not nice people, and Perry's Gram told him what is right and what is wrong. Although Perry was sometimes called simple, the book itself was too simplistic. Still, it was a feel-good, light story, and I learned one thing about lottery tickets that had never occurred to me before and

This book was great, makes you happy and sad and angry. But mostly makes you think about the good people in your life.

This book has 61 short chapters, which didnt really work well for me at first. Normally Im not a fan of long chapters, but these chapters were definitely too short. At first it felt like it was taking me a long time to read this book. Sometimes when Im reading Ill give myself a goal to go to the end of the chapter and in this case, I was stopping really fast! I changed my mind on that one and would look ahead to find a good stopping point instead. Once I got really into the book I couldnt put it

Ah, this was a lovely read. I think it's all about the characters, as far as my reading tastes go. I want to like them. It's great if I love them. Those are the books I can't put down. The author does such a good job of nailing the voices of the cousin-brothers in this book. I don't know about you but my eye twitches when dialogue is not authentic (to my ears). It goes twitch. Twitch. Twitchtwitchtwitch and then mark "abandoned." Happy reading out there,Pam/Fishgirl

Perry is not retarded. Perry is slow. Perry buys lotto tickets with his Gram each week and after she dies, he wins. And then his family comes out of the woodwork. But Perry is not retarded. Perry wants to be a businessman. Perry makes good decisions. Perry knows that love is important and money is just money.I read this book cover to cover in one sitting. I thought there was too much swearing and there are some explicit sex scenes. I loved the cast of characters.

This book had me hooked at the first page. I laughed, I cried, and I really enjoyed this book. The main character was loveable from the beginning and I never got the impression he was "slow".... He seemed so logical and I was really rooting for him the whole time. I can't think of a more inspiring book that I have read this year than this one.
