Summary: Unbelievably bad!
Review: What a dreadful book. This is not the first book I have read by Catherine Coulter but it will probably be the last. I only read to the end because I have never been able to put a book down once started. From the beginning I was confused, first by who was actually telling the story then by the way the hero (?) Mac was able to justify the way he acted with Cal and then moved on to the supposed love of his life. Very shallow. There were so many other characters who seemed superfluous, I kept waiting for something to happen with them. And don't get me started on the whole being knocked out in Oregon and waking up in some drug lords compound in South America only to find their way to a resort! There are so many other things I found hard to take with this book that I'll leave it there.

Summary: Fast paced plot and unique writing style
Review: I read The Edge out of sequence, that is, after I finished reading the other books in Catherine Coulter's FBI series. I found it an enjoyable read, but totally different than the others in the series.
The plot, based on a mind-altering and libido stimulating drug and missing persons, is fast-paced. There's even a touch of supernatural with the telepathic link between Mac and his sister Jilly. All these elements combine to keep you reading.
Coulter's descriptions of the different settings are vivid. You'll find yourself squirming at some of the encounters Mac and Laurie have with the native animal life in the Rain Forest.
The 1st person male viewpoint is unique and, as you can tell from the other reviews, troubling for most readers. Because The Edge is not 3rd person POV, the characters appear to lack depth. You only get to view what's happening from Mac's viewpoint. I think that's why most reader found it more difficult to become absorbed.
The Edge seemed to focus on suspense and leave out the hint of romance that you find in the other books of the series. The usual romance elements and sexual tension between Mac and Laurie weren't obvious. Even Dillon and Sherlock didn't come across as well in The Edge as they have in the other books.
Not what we are used to from Ms Coulter, but the plot and the unique writing style make it an entertaining and interesting read. Worth the read for Catherine Coulter fans!

Summary: Best Catherine Coulter novel yet!!
Review: The Edge is the best book by Catherine Coulter yet. I was on the edge of my seat till the very end. Each page had you guessing and the suspense and intrigue kept me turning pages until I had finished the entire book in one night! I also highly recommend the sequels to this book. The Cove, The Target, and my other favorite The Maze.

Summary: Nothing like a good mystery!
Review: The Edge is a really good book in my opinion. As the story starts off it grabs you right from the second page. I like mystery and thrill stories, this book is both combined right from the beginning. The drug that is developed by Paul and jilly is something no one has ever seen or even heard about and when it falls into the wrong hands, people loose there lives. Mac has to find out what happened in the small town of Edgerton, Oregon and he is determined to do so. Although the book was very well written, I would have changed the ending, so that it didnt leave you just hanging the way it does. All in all it's a good book.

Summary: Not that bad.
Review: Come on guys it's not that bad! Right before reading this I read a historical romance that Catherine Coulter had written and that was a WHOLE lot worse. I found Mac, the hero, interesting and the first person writting was not to bad. It was definetely not one of my favorites and I might have liked it even less if the reviews hadn't led me to believe it was one of the worst books ever written. All in all it was OK though. (I am glad however that I got it from the public library and not the book store :)
