Summary: Different from her normal writing, but great.
Review: Ford "Mac" MacDougal is a FBI agent. Somehow, possibly ESP, he was with his sister when she went over a cliff in Oregon in her car. Mac had just recovered from a terrorist car bombing. Given leave, he went to Portland to care for his sister, Jilly, who was in a coma. When she finally came out of it, he had only a few hours with her before she disappeared directly from the hospital. No one saw her leave and no one knows if she went willingly or not. Jilly was a scientist. She and her husband, Paul, had been working on a new type of drug. The more Mac learned, the more worried he became. When an old man is killed to keep a secret, and someone is out using Mac and his partner for target practice, Mac calls for help. Fans get to see Dillon and Sherlock, the main couple from "The Target", back in action! They team up to find Jilly and beat the bad guys who are after the drug! ***Catherine Coulter dazzled readers with "The Cove", "The Maze", and "The Target". Now she continues in "The Edge"! This one begins in a male view point, which seems different for this author. However, I am happy to be able to say that this new release is great and will go on my "Keepers" shelf next to the others! I recommend this to those who love thrillers, fiction, and/or modern contemporary!***

Summary: A Loser, all around
Review: This book is a travesty of a novel. An absurd one. My last Coulter book, that's for sure.

Summary: Buyer Beware!
Review: Just a note - actually look at the physcial book before you buy it. The margins are huge and there are large spaces between lines of print. I love Catherine Coulter's books, but her last two have been such disappointments!

Summary: terrible
Review: This was truly one of the worst books I've ever read. I simply could not believe Coulter wrote it. The characters were insipid, the dialogue pathetic. The author should be embarrassed at taking advantage of her previous, good reputation. Shameful.

Summary: This is definitely not one of Catherine Coulter's best!
Review: I am a long time fan of Catherine Coulter and have read almost all of her books. It's a shame, when you know that an author can write books really well, to read one that is so poorly put together. After a week, I still haven't finished it--this from a reader that usually finishes a book this size in a few hours. The first person perspective contributes to the very disjointed feeling I had throughout much of the beginning of the book. The story seemed to jump around a lot, bringing in lots of characters right at the beginning. I had a hard time keeping track of them all. In addition, I could see no motivation for many characters actions. Worst of all--even though this is not technically a romance, I still feel Coulter should have followed some of the basics of romantic writing that she is so well known for and successful at. Particularly, I felt that Mac's "quickie" with Cal early on was too weird. Not even 2 days later he is in bed with Laura. This makes it very hard to believe in our hero, or to believe that our heroine (Laura) isn't a fool for falling for him. I could go on and on about how poorly editted this book was, how inconsistent the jacket flap was with what the book was about, etc. Even the paper is deceptively thick to make the book appear to be more than it is. If Coulter is going to continue in the hardcover arena, she and her publisher need to spend more time on improving on the quality of the writing and finished product. I will probably keep looking for the "next book" from Catherine Coulter, but I will take a careful look for reviews before I buy it.

Summary: Suspenseful, Different and Editor did do their job
Review: A male point of view, first person was kind of different but worked. Reviewer from Walla Walla, Washington needs to read more carefully. Mac ordered the Meat Loaf special dinner. In my country, dinners usually come with soup or salad and a potato. After they brought his salad, he was informed that they were out of the meatloaf. He didn't eat the girl's salad. In the toilet seat scene, he put the gas canaster in the toilet and closed the seat lid. The other person was holding the porcelin tank lid. However, since almost all calico cats are female, the cat should have been a female not male. Picky picky, but I liked the book. Can't wait to see Sherlock and Dillon again.

Summary: What happened??!!
Review: This is the worst Catherine Coulter book ever. I love her books and her writing but this book lacked the intellectual depth her books always carry. The first person point of view was just terrible not to mention the fact that her caracters didn't have much characrter to them. If this had been the first book I had read by C.C. I would never read another one. My question is what happened Catherine? I would like a refund please!!

Summary: Save your hard-earned $$
Review: I have read (and thoroughly enjoyed) numerous Catherine Coulter books...and this certainly isn't one of them. Given her previous writing style, I honestly can't believe that she wrote this novel. The story is there, or could be, but the writing is so elementary it's juvenile. In lieu of "See Spot Run" she wrote "Hot damn. Look what I found. Ripe bananas, to go with our mangoes. Now the Baby Ruths can be our dessert." If you must read this, check-it out at the library. You'll save yourself money and will most probably return it early.
