		Rhinehart's portrayal of the anti-hero pales in comparison to Tolstoy's depiction of Napoleon in "War and Peace".
		Adventures of Wim, then, is an effort to create a new interpretation of the story of Wim, drawing on the many previous efforts, and so providing a multi-faceted and whimsical account of 'one of the greatest figures in the 20th and 21st Century'.
		Luke Rhinehart was a psychology professor who, bored with his lot, moved himself, his wife, and his three kids, to a Spanish island and wrote The Dice Man.

		The exploits of Luke Rhinehart, eponymous antihero of The Dice Man, have seduced generations of readers into subverting their lives on the throw of a die.
		Nobody knows this better than Luke, who began playing with his cubes when he was a teenager and his name was still George Cockcroft (he changed his name to Luke Rhinehart to confuse readers into thinking the book was autobiographical).
		Luke continued dicing off and on through the years, but turns a little coy when asked to reveal any details.

	Dice Man, The - Luke Rhinehart - Review - Snake Eyes
		I first became aware of Luke Rhinehart’s “The Dice Man” whilst studying psychology at university, although I can’t remember if it was merely mentioned in passing or if it actually appeared on one of my reading lists.
		However, Rhinehart’s randomly changing personality alienates family, friends and colleagues with many of the latter believing he is becoming psychotic, rather than random.
		Rhinehart’s style, for the most part, is quite causal and almost conversational at times, even when he’s talking about psychiatric and psychological things.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Archive Search
		Rhinehart, whose real name is George Cockcroft, made his reputation with the cultish Seventies book The Dice Man, in which the eponymous hero, a psychiatrist, gives over all his decision making to the roll of a die, providing himself with half a dozen potential alternatives for every step he takes through life.
		The novel, whose anarchic possibilities are currently enjoying a renaissance, seemed to be autobiographical; in the years since, Rhinehart has published four more books, all devoted to the idea of a life lived according to the dictates of chance.
		Cockcroft says he no longer has quite the messianic faith of Luke that dicing is the key to fulfilment, but he maintains the more modest position that using dice occasionally 'would have some beneficial effect for everyone.

	Dice Man, The - Luke Rhinehart - Review - On a Roll
		Rhinehart thus develops a way of living by the dice.
		The fact that the six dice options are chosen by Rhinehart himself in the first place raises questions about human nature when it is given free rein.
		All of this is helped enormously by Rhinehart's fluid prose-style and sense of timing - he knows exactly when to end a chapter and cut in with a new one from a different perspective.

	The Diceman - Luke Rhinehart - Review - Let 'Em Fall Where They May (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Luke Rhinehart is a disillusioned psychotherapist, trapped in a repetitive cycle of not listening to his patients and joyless family life.
		Luke’s insistence that the dice begin to govern his whole life means that soon a roll of the die becomes as rudimentary a feature in his life as breathing – it literally becomes his god.
		For example – Luke’s letters from dice patients who seem just as unhinged as him – and from disgruntled folks whose lives have been infected by the dice – serve to show just how much Diceliving alters individuals’ perception of life.

	Blether book review - The Dice Man
		Luke Rhinehart is a madman, which in itself tends to make The Dice Man an entertaining read.
		Most memorable is the party at which Rhinehart assumes, according to the roll of a dice, the persona of one of six different personalities.
		Once the initial shock and thrill of Rhinehart`s philosophy and ensuing actions are overcome, his treatise on the human condition and the nature of chance and choice becomes wearing.

		Luke is a master of carefully timed comic relief, just when you thought the story was starting to become serious.

	Luke Rhinehart: The Dice Man: Compare Cheapest Prices UK
		He asks his mentor and fellow colleague 'how' can can escape this mind-set and he is told that he can't - for fundamental boredom occurs when we become so used to our own habits, routine, and way of thinking: to abandon these is to abandon the very person that we are.
		Luke, thus, sets about trying to overcome this boredom WITHOUT changing the person he is by detaching himself from the actions he embarks upon - hence the need to roll the dice.
		Although we are led to believe that the autobiography has been dictated by the dice (Luke claims that he rolled the decide to decide which events to narrate, and which to leave out), in reality, we know that the story-line is pre-meditated by the author.
