Mrs. Million

Rating:
Summary: wacky
Review: The first few pages drew me into this book very quickly. The cast of quirky characters makes this a funny story. Barbarannette, (nicknamed Barbie) whose husband, Bobby Quinn, had run off 6 years ago. Now that Barbie has won the lottery and her winnings totaled 8.9 million dollars. She decides to put up a million dollars reward for the safe return of her husband Bobby. Big mistake. At the same time that Barbie was on TV putting up the reward, Bobby is sitting in Tucson AZ watching TV with his girl friend. They decide to pack their bags and go claim the reward for themselves. There are 2 other people who also want the money, Bobby's greedy girlfriend and a crazy bounty hunter. The book goes through their misadventures, in the attempt to try and claim the million dollars for themselves. Barbie's family is a wee bit wacky but they have Barbie's best interest at heart. Be prepared for a surprise end. I found it to be a well, written, lighthearted read that held my attention. A good read for a lazy day.

Summary: Hilarious entertainment. Don' miss it!
Review: This was the first time I've read Peter Hautman, but it certainly won't be the last. Very funny and entertaining characters make this a must read for anyone who wants a good laugh. Fans of Mr. Hautman should definitely check out all books written by Peter Lefcourt. I couldn't help from noticing the similarities in style between the two authors. Both are very funny and write with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Summary: Mrs. Million Gives A Million Laughs
Review: What a hoot! Pete Hautman has assembled a crazy cast of characters and the result is a fun story, full of entertainment and surprises. When a lucky lady named Barbaraannette wins 9 million bucks in the Powerball lottery, she goes a bit overboard and offers a mil to get her wayward husband, Bobby, back. Greed does strange things to people and her offer sets these unique, well-developed characters in motion. There's never a dull moment. It would make a great movie!

Summary: Disappointing
Review: What happened to Hautman? Did he have a deadline? This book comes way short of my expectations. I was halfway through and still wondering when it was going to take off. But it never did. If I hadn't enjoyed Hautman's others so much, I might have enjoyed it more. But it stunk in comparison.
