This is a superb Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities that deserves a place with the classics of the genre. - Mathematics Today

Intriguing ... [Do Dice Play God? is] a challenging but rewarding trip through a quantum world of uncertainties. -- Publishers' Weekly

The innumerate will struggle, but every reader will encounter gems and jolts in this expert analysis of probability - Kirkus

[An] entertaining guide - Wall Street Journal

[Stewart] can make tricky ideas simple ... with aplomb - LA Times
