The Edge

Rating:
Summary: Disappointed
Review: I read as many of CC's books that I can get my hands on, and I was very disappointed in this one. The story was quite unbelievable and stupid at times.

Summary: It wasn't worth me buying it in hardcover
Review: Well, I usually love CC books, and really have gotten into her contemporary suspense...The Cove and The Maze my personal favorites. However, Edge did nothing for me. The first person did not bother me, but for a while there seemed to be no plot, and than you had this huge jump into a jungle...nothing connected very well. If you are a diehard fan of CC than I do suggest you read it to see for yourself. But I would not recommend buying it in hardcover. Wait until it comes out to paperback, or check your local library.

Summary: Not as god as the first 3, but still intense and intriguing!
Review: I didn't like The Edge as much as I liked The Cove, The Maze and The Target, but The Edge was still a pretty good book! It kept my attention, and I got through it pretty quickly. I liked the fact that the characters in all 4 sort of intertwined and made it a "quadology"! The 1st person aspect was the most difficult, because I had gotten used to reading in the 3rd person in the other 3. Though it wasn't as good as the 1st 3, it is still worth reading!

Summary: Different, took a while to get into, but good.
Review: First off, this was not her best. I'm not a fan of first person, but my love of C.C.'s books kept me going. It took a while to get into, and it had no apparent heroine for a long while (something I do not like). But once it got going,I loved it. first person was different, but not bad. I would have prefered third, but I can't have everything I want. Overall, a good read once you got into the story.

Summary: Very odd
Review: The transition from the cottage to the jungle was rather jarring. The first half of the book was boring...the second half was strange but it was fun to romp through the jungle with Sherlock and Savich (I really didn't care about Laura and Ford). I got really sick of hearing about the bird and the cat. Overall, a really bad effort. On the plus side, the cover art is beautiful.

Summary: Not her best work
Review: I have read practically every Coulter novel written. She is a multi-talented, gifted writer but feel Edge was not up to par. It is the only novel I have never finished. After reading Target, Maze and Cove, I bugged the book store for weeks waiting on Edge. I was really disappointed. The storyline was good but I simply never could get into it. I quit reading right after Ford moved her into his house. Maybe I'll finish it one day. Maybe.

Summary: What a poor job, from such a good writer
Review: There are too many characters & not enough explanations. This book jumps so much that you lose yourself while you're reading it. Do yourself a favor, save your money and your time.

Summary: The Edge? More like The Downhill
Review: I find it sad to see Coulter lose the unique style that made her early works absolutely wonderful.

Summary: Boring
Review: This book just seemed to drag on and on. I Like a book that I don't want to put down. Sorry Mrs. Coulter.

Summary: I was very disappointed. This book did not hold my interest.
Review: If you want to read a book that goes straight to your heart, read Stolen Moments by Barbara Jeanne Fisher. . .It is a beautiful story of unrequited love. . .for certain the love story of the nineties. I intended to give the book a quick read, but I got so caught up in the story that I couldn't put the book down. From the very beginning, I was fully caught up in the heart-wrenching account of Julie Hunter's battle with lupus and her growing love for Don Lipton. This love, in the face of Julie's impending death, makes for a story that covers the range of human emotions. The touches of humor are great, too, they add some nice contrast and lighten things a bit when emotions are running high. I've never read a book more deserving of being published. It has rare depth. Julie's story will remind your readers that life and love are precious and not to be taken for granted. It has had an impact on me, and for that I'm grateful. Stolen Moments is written with so much sensitivity that it made me want to cry. It is a spellbinder. What terrific writing. Barbara does have an exceptional gift! This book was edited by Lupus specialist Dr. Matt Morrow too, and has the latest information on that disease. ..A perfect gift for someone who started college late in life, fell in love too late in life, is living with any illness, or trying to understand a loved one who is. . .A gift to be cherished forever.
