Product Description

Product Description

The sequel to the cult classic The Dice Man, this book can also change your life! Larry Rhinehart is the son of an infamous father -- the renegade psychiatrist Luke Rhinehart, otherwise known as the Dice Man. Luke became a cult figure in the seventies, inspiring thousands to follow him into the anarchic world of Dice Living, where every decision is made not by the self, but by the roll of the dice. Larry, however, is emphatically not a follower. He has grown up to have a great respect for order and control. A wealthy Wall Street analyst, all set to marry the boss's daughter, Larry has got life where he wants it. Until rumours begin to circulate about the reappearance of his long-vanished father -- and Larry's carefully organized world begins to look a lot less certain. By turns funny, moving and wildly erotic, The Search for the Dice Man is a journey of the body and spirit never to be forgotten.


About the Author

Luke Rhinehart has written four other acclaimed novels: Matari, Long Voyage Back, Adventures of Wim and the cult classic The Dice Man. He lives in the USA.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellently written but not quite as good as its predecessor, 12 Jun 2000
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dice man, 26 Jan 2007
By Spider Monkey (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can be read as a stand alone, 7 Dec 2004
By E. v. Hoof (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
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 Larry, the son of Luke Rhinehart (indeed, the author who also starred in Dice Man) who is successful in life and who appears to be happy...on the surface. Set on the track by an ongoing FBI investigation, he wants to find his father, who is presumed death. First to help the FBI and get even with his death who left him and his mother behind, then the actually find him. He 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 and drinks three pints regardless of consquences.

This book is both moving and very funny, thought-provoking and balant and can be read as a novel of a young man searching his way through life.

If you liked the Dice Man, this is a must, if you haven't you can also try this one first and be amazed.
