Lord Edgware Dies

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.

I really enjoyed this book. The plot is always changing and I thought that everyone who came into the story had committed the murder! The characters are extremely well described.It was a big shock to find out who the murderer was and how they had done it. I really recommend this book- it's great!


Excellently written but not quite as good as its predecessor   June 12, 2000

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.
