The Dice Man is at first an exciting look into living truly random. Ever curious what it would be like to be a character in an dungeons and dragons campaign in real life?
That’s essentially the premise of The Dice Man. Initially it is an exciting concept, living life completely randomly to remove all inhibitions. But the entire idea begins to grow dull.
Also heads-up lots of just random gratuitous sex.
The book for definitely be trimmed down a 100-200 pages and still get its point across.
I can definitely see how people compare this to Fight Club. A sort of manifesto to changing your life.
