- Dice man
This is a great novel that is slightly more coherent than the first and one that can easily be read on it's own. The story is really good and kept me turning those pages and had some of the great premises from the first book, as well as other ideas explored. Well worth giving a go if you enjoyed the original book, and an easier read if you tried and didn't like the first one.

- Can be read as a stand alone
Eventhough this book is the second in a series (of which the Dice Man was the first), you can easily read it if you haven't read the Dice Man before. The story starts with the son of Luke Rhinehart (indeed, the author who also starred in Dice Man)who is successful in life. He wants to find his father, who is presumed death, and decides that in order to find him he should live the life his father has...the life of living through the casting of dice. But this means ending his life as it was, and starting a new one...

The idea is that the character gives each roll of the dice a specific meaning, i.e. if he rolls 6 he should go out and drink three pints. Then by casting dice he determines what he should do, and if he rolls 6 he goes out ... Read More:

- This is a good book because of the very complex plot.
I really enjoyed this book. The plot is always changing and I thought that everyone who came into the story had committed the murder! The characters are extremely well described.It was a big shock to find out who the murderer was and how they had done it. I really recommend this book- it's great!

- Excellently written but not quite as good as its predecessor
Larry Rhinehart gets in on the act as he searches for father Luke. The book is intriguing as Larry joins his father's cult in order to overcome it, and funny as he struggles with the strange world of diceliving and the even stranger people that undertake it! This is a good follow-up to the first book and is wonderfully written by both Luke and Larry. A must for lovers of the first book but impossible to read as a single novel. The usual helping of sex is supplied, but overall a book not quite as good as the first one suggested it could be. Worth a read, though.
