Product Information

or 4 - first from 100 Offbeat Baby Names | Nameberry, middle from Cool Unique Middle Names | Nameberry. Frustratingly, the plot does light on all my counter-arguments (always put forward by the narrator's psychologist colleagues), but they're always just brushed aside as unhip. Nevermind this square life where you don't rape your neighbours - this dude's living free! They fired him at work? Great: now he can really get on with his work! It's the same dumb TV logic which sees cops only catching the murderer once they're suspended from the case. The hero of this novel (sharing the author’s name) is a psychologist who, jaded and sunk into ennui, decides on a whim based on the turn of a die to "rape" (read: seduce) his colleague’s wife. After the success of his seduction, he turns to aleatory direction more and more (creating his own options and letting the die decide which to do), until he’s built a whole religion or cult after the Dice, complete with nationwide centers where inductees are required to cast away all inhibitions and identity, acting only and totally according to the "will" of chance.

This is a great land of freedom but it isn’t made for people who insist on insisting on their own ideas” What is his name?

It seems to be bourne of that same Stanford Prison Experiment thinking which is willing to risk treading on people en route to gaining a deeper psychological understanding of human nature. I also wonder how different this novel would be if it hadn't been written in the early 70s. The two seem inextricably linked, and not in a good way. Like I said – think bloated middle-aged guy at a party. Oh, and he’s just bought his first motorbike and wants to tell you all about it. “It’s really powerful, sensual, raw. You should try it some time, come for a ride with me.” They rolled their cups and slammed them on the table. They carefully peak at their dice. Doyoung begins. Under no circumstances will you guys make fun of me for it. I just came up with it so the rules are a work in progress."In that moment, they knew they wanted to keep playing this game. So they continued on playing this game for an hour! The next game, Shotaro won with the rolls: 4,9,4,25. After that he won again with 15,21,5,24. Then Doyoung won with 16,5,3,20. Then Doyoung won again with 20,15,6,9. Then Sungchan won on 14,4,23,9. Then Jeno won by some chance on 20,8,20,8.

The novel is well-plotted. As Rhinehart refers more and more of his decisions to the dice, there is an escalation of the amount of the risk into which he puts himself. For much of the narrative, this increased risk results in comic situations. Late in the novel, however, Rhinehart’s dice-throwing involves some life and death decisions (and there is one such decision that some readers may find has turned out a little too conveniently—but if it had turned out much differently, this would have been a different kind of novel). The author maintains the plot well and, in comparison to many other novels, the conclusion to which the narrative builds is one of the most satisfying I have seen; it is certainly one of the best kinds of conclusions one could employ with regard to the ideas the novel explores. name]Leo[/name] [name]James[/name] & [name]Charlie[/name] [name]Scott[/name] - curly dark brown hair, chocolate eyes. name]Xanthe[/name] [name]Anoush[/name] [name]James[/name] and [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Niamh[/name] [name]James[/name] 8 There is certainly a sardonic humour here as it questions the norms of civilised society and what constitutes madness but it is more bludgeoning than subtle: I re-read this book as preparation for a talk that I'm giving about chance. I remember hating the book the first time I read it (probably about a decade ago). I hate it more now.

I have got a degree in psychology and therefore I can't blame my dislike of The Dice Man on 'not getting it' (not that you need a degree in psychology to understand the concept of the book). Equally, I think I have a pretty good sense of humour and I would be reluctant to say 'I missed the humour of it'. In short, I just thought it was absolutely rubbish!
