The Dice Man
Luke Rhinehart
27th August 1997 at Max's House
Synopsis
Let the dice decide!
This is the philosophy that changes the life of bored psychiatrist
Luke Rhinehart - and in some ways changes the world as well.
Because once you hand your life over to the dice, anything
can happen.
First lines
I am a large man, with big butcher's hands, great
oak thighs, rock-jawed head, and massive, thick-lens glasses.
I'm six foot four and weigh close to two hundred and thirty
pounds; I look like Clark Kent, except that when I take off
my business suit I am barely faster than my wife, only slightly
more powerful than men half my size, and leap buildings not
at all, no matter how many leaps I'm given.
Published reviews
A blackly comic amusement park of a book.
Time
Witty...reckless...clever, a caper at the edge of nihilism.

Our comments
Quite simply the worst book we've ever chosen. The embossed
cover should have been a warning. Unlikely to change anything
- least of all your life.
