Summary: Dice Angel
Review: This was a delightful read. I adored the cosmic/comic justice regarding Jimmy's situation and I think this would make a wonderful "Vegas" movie.
Steve Martin (think L.A. Story) or Nicholas Cage (think Honeymoon in Vegas) would make a realistic Jimmy, and Meryl Streep would be the Dice Angel.

Summary: Dice Angel by Brian Rouff
Review: Yesterday I picked up Dice Angel and couldn't put it down. I was hooked on the mystery and intrigue woven around the Las Vegas characters realistically brought to life by writer Brian Rouff. Tomorrow I'll be buying his next novel,Money Shot.

Summary: Real Life Vegas
Review: The characters were well developed from the beginning and created a picture of the "real vegas", not the one all tourists see on the Strip.
Having been visting the city for 15 years, the references brought me back to the desert right away and reminded me that not every tale from Vegas is all roses, although this one has a great finish!
Loved the Foundation Room @ Mandalay Bay passages as that is by far my favorite spot in the city
A great read and quite funny as well!

Summary: Its not all about craps!
Review: Judging by the title I expected a tale centering around the game of craps. Little did I know the game wouldnt even come of mention until page 102! The book reads fluidly as the story comes together with endlessly entertaining dialogue and interaction. Bourne from either the creative mind of the author or people he knows all too well, the characters were painted with every crayon in the box. Right down from the ex-stock broker gone nuts to the cop he used to play football with in high school, everybody projected vivdly in my mind as they developed.Centering around the life of one man Jimmy Delaney, you get a first person view of his world. A common guy caught up in a bind stemming from a brother-in-law who put the family bar in jepardy by leaving him without any real hope of saving himself from ruin at the hands of the IRS. To us, Jimmy is a regular guy with the same problems we all have, but to a young girl who calls him Jimmy Daddy he is a hero. Add in an endless line of friends who look up to him to be the strong one and an ex-wife with her hand out, his burdon of responsiblity seems to have no end. Who's to save the poor chap? Enter the Dice Angel, a kooky throwback from 1975 with a box of pixie dust under one arm and clothes so bright she'd have to be good at craps to afford all the batteries. A refreshing change of pace from the common genre stories that plague every movie released, I wouldnt mine seeing a storyline like this about a regular Joe on the big screen. Though not reality TV, it's still fiction but you can walk away with one thing. No matter how down and out you get, they can never take your hope away.
