LuAnne Tyler is a trailor trash woman, who wins, wouldnt you guess it, 100 million dollars. Amazing isnt it? Not really. Total Control was an excellent book, so i decided to read The Winner, even though the intelect level was fairly high, it was one of the few books that i chose to not finish, even though i was very near the end, and i am not normally one to put a book down.If you are wanting to read a David Baldacci, read "Total Control", if you want a cliche story of a lottery winner, that won't make you want to continue reading, read this book. I've read much better, nice try David, but try again.
