The Edge

Rating:
Summary: THE EDGE is a waste of time.
Review: Being a dedicated fan of Catherine Coulter I decided to ignore the numerous negatives reviews here and checked out THE EDGE at the library. One week later with fewer than one hundred pages read, I have to admit that I've been wasting my time. What a disappointment to Ms Coulter's loyal fans! After reading one third of this book I find that the story has barely progressed. The characters are so poorly developed that I have no desire to even see how the story ends. The dialogue is silly and not even believable for a man of Mac's description. Will the real Catherine Coulter please come forward and write something worthy of her time and ours?

Summary: THE WORSE - SHE MUST BE USING A GHOST WRITER
Review: I have read every book by Coulter and this has to be the worse. I truly believe Ms. Coulter must be using a Ghost Writer because the quality of work has really gone done hill. The concept of the Edge was interesting and it really caught my attention but due to the poor writing skills, I lost interest very quickly. I use to be able to pick up a Coulter book and be done in a day or two. This one could not hold my attention and it took me forever to complete it. Sorry Catherine, but you better start either writing your own material or else get better ghost writers.

Summary: Huntress review way off TARGET!!!!!!
Review: just a note to the reviewer from huntress--Savich and Sherlock were the main couple from the MAZE--not the Target--if we're to take your opinion seriously, perhaps you should get your novels and your characters straight--The Edge is still C.C.'s worst and left me grinding my teeth two weeks later.

Summary: Different doesn't always mean bad.
Review: I was quite skeptical when I realized the book was written in the first person. Usually that spells bad news for the romance in a book, but since Catherine Coulter is the author I decided to give it a try. I am soooo glad I did. I very much enjoyed reading a book from the male point of view. The romance and suspense was well done and the characters interesting and believable. I liked Savich and Sherlock coming to the aid of a friend and adding elements from earlier novels. This book is definitely a keeper.

Summary: This book was work to finally finish
Review: This is certainly not her best work. I found myself interested in this story but I felt that this story was not very well developed. It had too many occurences and activities that did not make sense. I found that Mac's friends were stiff and unreal unlike they were in the novel where they originated. I think this story had a lot of potential but was so poorly written that I did not enjoy it.

Summary: Someone please tell me Catherine didn't write this book!!!
Review: Listen, I know everyone has bad days, but Catherine, please tell me you did not write this one!! DIS-JOINTED, POORLY WRITTEN, does this apply?? YESSS!!! Sorry, but I really would like my money back, and I say this in all seriousness. "Mac" the hero, excuse me - but - since when does the hero in any book that's called romance, sleep around with just anyone who happens to be in heat?? Just because she's on drugs...... Get real, I hated this book, about the only thing going for it is the nice paper and print. I own many of Ms. Coulter's books and disappointed just doesn't say what I feel about this book... And what in the world happened to "Savich"????? If all you are going to write about is his hard stares - don't bother to put him or "Sherlock" in your next book, give the couple some dignity.

Rating:
Summary: Written In First Person
Review: The inside cover sounded as good as her other RS; however it is written in first person, and for me, that was a stopper! By writting in the third person one gets the views of others that are involed in the story, from their thoughts, not just the one telling the story, as is done in the third person.

Summary: I thought I was the only one who hated it!
Review: The Maze, one of my favorite books in recent years, turned me on to Catherine Coulter--I anxiously awaited this new novel to discover the recent activities of Sherlock and Savich--too bad I had to read the rest of the book to find out. It was painful and incredibly disappointing--I'm praying her next novel is much, much better and that she takes her readers into consideration--the male point of view just doesn't cut it in first person for a romance novel--The Target worked with a male protagonist, but this one lost me by page 3. Please, oh, please Ms. Coulter, come back to us--where did you go?

Rating:
Summary: Very disappointing
Review: I'm an avid reader of Ms. Coulter's, but this book was a big disappointment. There was no real plot. There was no definition of the characters. And I don't think Ms. Coulter had a definite plan for the ending as she just ended the book. I was left with the feeling that she just threw it together.

Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: I am a huge Coutler fan and I have to say I was incredily diappointed with this book. I love Dillon and Savitch, found the The Maze to be great reading and was looking forward to seeing them again. This book just left me upset - she can do better than this. The only point of interest here was the male point of view, otherwise, not worth the price of the book.
