Of all the books I've read this year, Lottery has stayed with me the longest and even now, some months after I finished it, the characters are still following me around and popping up just when I don't expect to see them.<BR/><BR/>Mind you, I don't understand why you commented on the doorknob. Glossy paint aside, that front door looks a lot like mine.

My son took my copy of Lottery as soon as I posted my review, and then read it in a record 3 (school) days. He loved it – especially the protagonist. He said it was very funny and more complex than books written for teens. <BR/><BR/>When we lived in London, we watched the elaborate construction of the Komodo Dragon exhibit but didn’t see the results until your blog post. Fun pictures! Is your next novel set in London?Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.com
