Which Ever One to Read......

How are People Going with this Book.....

Well Ladies - I don't know about all of you, but I am struggling.  I can't seem to get past page 50.  I stop and start and then find myself back at the beginning.  While it is meant to be a cult classic, I am finding Luke Rhienhart literally revolting and self-indulgent.  Someone assure me it gets better ---- please.

Reviews from the Good Read Blog, I am having trouble concurring with, yet I know I must persist because I really haven't given old Luke a chance.  Anyways here are the reviews, if any of you are struggling as I am!

A rollicking good read and an irreverent parody of American psychoanalytical culture, The Dice Man is entertaining, humorous, shocking, and subversive -- one of the international cult bestsellers of our time.

"Luke Rhinehart and The Dice Man have launched a psychiatric revolution". -- The Sunday Telegraph (London)

"Witty...reckless...clever, a caper at the edge of nihilism". -- Life magazine

"Weird, hilarious...an outlandishly enjoyable book". -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch

    I ave to admit that I only got my copy of the book last night - so (hopefully) I will get started tonight, but your comment does not sound very encouraging...
