Book Reviews of The Dice Man
Book Review: it makes you look at life differently
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a psychology student and found this book fascinating. I got a better understanding of the mentioned theories in the book: that i am studying in class, It opened my eyes to a completly different world and how we can change the world that we are trapped in.I have played the dice game and had the best experiences of my life.Take a chance and learn that there is more to life than the habitial behavior we have.Book Review: Humourous Story that provides an essential truth
Summary: 4 Stars
Rhinehart's book provides the reader with engaging story with fairly rich characters to facilitate the assertion of a psycho philosophy. The story is an argument for the idea that nothing is any way. It challenges consensus and really has the reader question their own prejudices, paradigms and morals while entertaining. This book would be in a genre of self-help-fiction-philosophy.Book Review: A bit long...
Summary: 3 Stars
While I found the premise of this book mindblowing and very liberating I felt that it was a very long and tedious read. It could have been summed up in around 250 pages instead of over 400. But other than that the idea that life without a concrete personality is the way to go is an extremely wild thought to ponder. I think you really have to be in the right mood to read this book.Book Review: addictive and utterly irresistible.
Summary: 5 Stars
Luke pushes you to the limit of your own logic, slowly making you understand him. You end up embracing his logic only so he can take you places you'd never go. Sort of in a Nabokov way, you become Humbert Humbert, only to realize that in this case, Lolita is your own destiny, and you are messing with her in ways you really shouldn't. And it's so funny, it's addictive.Book Review: Should be a movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Which is not to say it shouldn't be a book, which it is, and a good one. Five stars. And I disagree with the reviewer who said is should be shorter. I think it should have been longer. In fact I almost only gave it four stars for being too short. But it's five stars the way it is. Only it would have been more stars (if they let you) if it were longer.
