Kushkel's first novel, Lotto Trouble, is definitely worth a read. It is exciting, action packed, and has a slew of memorable and great characters! Definitely buy this book! Some people are loath to give a chance to an unknown author but give this book a chance, and i promise it will be one gamble that will definitely pay off!
Terrific Read!!

Lotto Trouble was a terrfic read, fast-paced and exciting, all about the chain of events triggered by a winning lottery ticket. There are many colorful characters and multiple plots lines woven throughout the story that all come together at the end.It was a true "page turner" in every sense of the word and kept me up late into the night to see how it all would turn out. I recommend it highly if you are looking for a fresh face with a great story.
EXCELLENT FIRST EFFORT

Mr. Kushel's first publication will not be his last....some publisher will pick up this author based on an outstanding self-published book about mistaken identity, mistaken assumptions, greed, crime, sex, coincidences which may or may not be, drugs, the going wrong of best laid plans, etc. Very hard to put down ....good guys, bad guys,good/bad guys, bad/good guys, etc.
UNBELIEVABLE!

After a friend recommended this book to me, I was very skeptical about reading it. An unheard author, unheard book.But after reading it I do not remember the last time I enjoyed a book as much as I enjoyed this one! The characters were just amazing! Each and everyone one of them had such substinance to them that it felt like I knew each and every one of them.By the time I was halfway through this book (which unfortuantely for me happened to be on a business trip in San Francisco), I could not put it down. I was kept up late at night in San Francisco reading about the exploits of these classic characters.It is no wonder that there aren't as many great books such as this one out on the market today. It must be because the unheard of authors are writing such masterpieces, while the famous ones keep producing borderline garbage. If you have the chance, read this book. It'll be worth your time, and will definitely entertain you for a few days. Just make sure you clear your schedule!
