A phycological teaser that folds rational, logical thought into a paper plane then chucks it out the out the window. Our main character is a psycoanalyist who decides to conduct an experiment and live his life by the roll of a dice. This experiment begins to unravel the threads of his life, and the reality of the story. Rape is justifyable due to the choice of the dice. Rhinehart explores the bonds of morality that hold society in check, playing with reader, like his lead character plays with his dice.   hide

Its not superb.

i had my share of unbelief and amazement, but also laughter and excitement. the fact that the book was written by the dice more than the writer only aids to understand the way of the dice. amazing book, will make you think about some things in life and acutally consider going along with the dice game :-). but not as extreme as the main character of course

By going completely over the top, this book makes some pretty profound and compelling points about human psychology. In many ways, the dicelife is a pretty exciting idea. I was pretty relieved when I found out that Luke Rhinehart is a fictional character, though! BTW this is also completely hilarious

Read this book. Next time you see a die, tell me if you will feel the urge to roll it and let it govern your life. Funny, twisted, shocking read. Anyone out there feeling brave enough to play the dice game...?

Awesome concept....rolled the dice ...live the life

Read this book and you'll never look at a die the same way again. What a raucous romp though random, ribald, risquee regions. Contains humour, sex of all kinds (definitely R rated) and anti-religious sentiment. I loved it! The guy was insane but I'm definitely gong to give the dice a go in future decision making. A must read for all broad minded individuals.

I really can't finish this!! for the first time in my life, a book is such boring. What an absurd way to tell a bright idea :/

Amazing in a very scary kind of way....I hope to God that no-one ever took this seriously!
