Roll July 14, 2008 Ms. L. Brown I loved this book, definately one of my top 5 books of all time, I got a lot out of this and would read it again anytime.
How depressing June 11, 2008 L. Brennan (Dublin, Ireland) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book is well written and deals with an interesting concept so it engaged me immediately. But the more I read, the more disturbed the main character gets and his actions become more and more bizarre and then quite disturbing and nonsensical. I stopped half way through but then for 'research' I browsed through the remaining chapters but his behaviour got progressively more depressing. ugh. horrible book. Its interesting that some people really like it! funny old world!
A fascinating exploration of the extremes of human behaviour May 22, 2008 Mrs. K. A. Wheatley (Leicester, UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is a masterpiece of underground literature and a complete moral minefield for the reader. Much like Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, it takes your ideas of what is moral, good and right and turns them on their head. This book is written as if it were a factual explanation of a real person's desire to change their life by using different outcomes and actions predicated on the roll of a simple dice. The book follows those outcomes to some extremes of behaviour and charts the changes that ensue. I won't give too much away as half the delight (and the horror) is watching the action unfold with none of the usual bars to reality and/or literature that one usually comes across.

If at first you dont suceed, roll, roll, and roll again... April 15, 2008 Tom Story (UK) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an interesting book, as the man made of dice goes about his daily adventures in reason, saving the world from his evil nemisis, reality. Or Not. Perhaps the dice told me to say that...... :)
