From the New York Times bestselling author of Squeeze Me, a novel starring three lottery winners, two heavily armed psychopaths, and a big-city investigative journalist set deep in Florida Bay. Grange, Florida, is, famous for its miracles-the weeping fiberglass Madonna, the Road-Stain Jesus, the stigmata man. And now it has JoLayne Lucks, unlikely winner of the state lottery. Unfortunately, JoLayne's winning ticket isn't the only one. The other belongs to Bodean Gazzer and his raunchy sidekick, Chub, who want the whole $28 million jackpot to start their own underground militia. The pursuit takes them to a buzzard-infested island deep in Florida Bay, where they finally catch up with the fledgling militia-and their baffled hostage, a Hooters waitress. The climax explodes with the hilarious mayhem that is Carl Hiaasen's hallmark. Lucky You is his funniest, most deliriously gripping novel yet.

This was an earlier book of Mr. Hiaasen's, having come across him after he had written for some time. I now need to get the rest of his books to fill out my library.

True Hiaasen
If you like Hiaasen's style, this book will be a quick read. In his own imitable way, he paints personality and character that draw out the need to turn the page. This is one of his early works and not his best in my opinion but will keep the reader interested.

Funny Road Trip
Full of laughs to keep you screaming on regaining a stolen lotto ticket; a black woman and a white man connecting romantically; while tracking two and one/half wild, sick and crazy almost skinheads.
