Orange Hooters Shorts? Lucky you...

Date of Review:  May 15, 2001
The Bottom Line: Hiaasen's Florida: Step into a world of natural beauty, rich in color, life and landscape. Just remember not to drive over the Road Stain Jesus.
Review: In Lucky You, written by author and environmentalist Carl Hiaasen, you understand the ludicrous irony of winning fourteen million dollars, only to have it stolen away from you by brutal force.

Irony, color, richness and wacky character...

How would you spend $14 million? - Lucky You

Date of Review:  Aug 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: Highly entertaining crime fiction. Pull up an order of Hooters wings and enjoy.
Review: JoLayne Lucks' bad luck with men finally paid off... in spades. By playing her break-up dates from all the useless men she'd dated, she hit the Lottery big time. Half the $28 million jackpot would be hers. That's a fairly sizeable fortune, and...

Lucky you? Lucky ME!

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 1999
Review: Carl Haissen does it again - this should be required reading for Florida residents.

Once again, Hiassen sets his novel in the splendid and sometimes (sometimes???) strange settings of South Florida.

JoLayne is a down on her luck,...

LUCKY YOU by Carl Hiaasen

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: A great comic crime novel that readers who also enjoy social satire will appreciate.
Review: NOTE: this is a review of the print edition, not the audio version.

Suspense is one of those words that, in fiction, we probably take too much for granted as implying apprehension and associate purely with the sinister. We expect to...

Like winning the literary lotto

Date of Review:  May 2, 2000
Review: I had read several opinions on other web sites stating that this was Carl Hiaasen's worst book. Having never read one of his books, I entered with an open mind. If this is his worst, it is high praise for his other books. I loved it.

Lucky...

My worst nightmare....

Date of Review:  Oct 13, 2000
Review: Lucky You by Carl Hiaasen presented to me in actual print, one of my worst nightmares. That would be winning the lottery, and having a couple of dirtbags trying to steal the winning ticket. Oh my.
This story of winning the Florida Lottery, is...
