Summary: Where's the ending of the story?
Review: I have been a fan of Ms Coulter for many years so I was excited when I bought The Edge. She reintroduced previous characters from her other books "The Maze" (excellent 5 star book) and "the Target( an excellent 5 star book). I thought WOW I love these characters. But Ms Coulter tried a different style of writing this time. She wrote in the first person of Mac ( a man) So ok I can handle this. Ms. Coulter still showed the charming wit that made her so well liked. The story is going strong and then you have only 5 or 6 pages left and your wondering how is this going to end and tie up all the different stories. The problem it didn't address what happened to all the characters involved in the plot. You finish reading this book and the first thing I said was what about so and so. Maybe Ms. Coulter is writing a sequel to this book to answer all the questions....

Summary: Lots of loose end
Review: Coulter introduced a lot of characters, but failed to tie them together. There's the sheriff...what's her deal? Who was she really involved with and why? The old Chicago cop...he's just kind of thrown in there and written off at the end. The drug dealer...we never even met him! And, in typical Coulter fashion, she's got to throw in a little kinky sex stuff...but it made no sense to the plot.This book needed a strong editor, and a major rewrite. Just because you've got some bestsellers shouldn't let you get away with sloppy plots.

Summary: What on earth is going on in this book????
Review: It wasn't until about page 160 that it was finally revealed what was going on... up until then, I couldn't figure out who was a 'good guy' and who wasn't. I have read all of the author's books, and was very disappointed in this book. I was at least able to finish the book (which is why it got 2 points instead of only 1)... but I would not recommend this book. Her other books in this series are good. This one was written in first person, from the perspective of the main male character...which is different for the author...If you like a mystery (such as 'what is the plot') then you might like this story....

Summary: It just got better and better...
Review: I was a little wary of this book when I first picked it up and noticed that it was written in first person from Mac's point of view. However, once I got into it, I really enjoyed the change in style. The story is told in a way that keeps your pages turning and your mind hummming. Mac is a great character and being inside his head through everything was entertaining and amusing, as well as believable because his reactions and thoughts were very human.The suspense, the romance, and the fun that I have enjoyed in Coulter books in the past were all present in THE EDGE. Savich and Sherlock's part in this mystery also reminded me how much I loved THE MAZE. All in all, Coulter's done it again!

Summary: Not as good as her first couple books in this series...
Review: I've really been looking forward to this book and was so disappointed! I usually love all of her books. The book was written from a man's viewpoint. The catch is, I had to keep mentally reminding myself that I was reading a guy's thoughts and not a female's. It just didn't click mentally for me. Because of that, it was difficult for me to become absorbed like I usually do. But, I have to say, other than than roadblock, the book is well written and amusing. I would recommend it because it is a Coulter but I'm curious whether any others had the same problem I did.....

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I loved CC's "The Maze" and "The Cove," and thought that "The Target" was one of the best books I have read. After reading such great works, "The Edge" was disappointing. The story line was just not believable. Not one of her best, but she is still a great mystery writer and I am looking forward to her next venture. Give us more of Sherlock!

Summary: Very Dissapointing
Review: This was the first book that I read by Catherine Coulter, and I am scolding myself for almost stopping with it. I have read many of her books now and I can't help but wonder if she had another person write this. The begining seems interesting, but it falls flat about the second chapter in. Mac is in the hospital, almost too weak to feed himself, but then he just sits up and leaves. But it gets better. In the rainforest, there are gun shot wounds and no food and the sexually aroused Mac, but miraculously, they endup at a Club Med. Now this may have all been okay, but it was written in first person from a man's point of veiw. Where did this come from? The love story and plot seemed to be thrown in at the end. The mystery was lacking, and it wasn't very suspenseful. If you want a good book by Coulter, try the first three or any of her historical romances. ....

Summary: Not to bad for a first time reader of Ms. Coulter
Review: This is the first time I have read anything of this author. I found it pretty good. From reading other reviews I have found that it is part of a series which I am interested in reading. It has all the makings of a great book: deceiption, bretrayal, family,ESP, murder, suicide, drugs, government agents. The characters were interesting and I really liked Sherlock and Savich even though they were secondary characters. I felt like they were most believable. I want to read "The Target" which I understand is a story that "stars" them. I think what turned me off about it was toward the end where Mac, Sherlock, Laura, and Savich were kidnapped. As they fight their way through the rain forest they end up on a resort beach. It was a little too weird. That is where I lost a little respect of the author. It is action packed though everyone is constantly on the run trying to solve the mystery at hand which turns out to be more than just the disappearance of Mac's sister. If i did it all over again this might not have been the first book I read of hers. I have since read "False Pretenses" which I was very inpressed with.
