5.0 out of 5 stars A good book if you like Psychological Thrillers., November 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Edge (Novel) (Hardcover)

Edge was very good. Michael Cadnum is excellent at describing his characters in the story. The plot is well thought out and you never know what the main character is going to do next. He mainly describes the main character but still does a really good job on the rest. He makes the story interesting and makes and fun to read, even though it has some dry and dull moments the exiteing ones make up for it.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Edge (Hardcover)

This book is a crazy book. it is good but kinda weird.... the best part in it was when the main chatior (zach) is talking about his gun 35. cal pistle. he is kinda crazy. the reason why he is crazy is bacause of his ex girl friend he grew distant from his high school friends and also he loses his dad to a shooting at a robary at a gas station. he gets shoot and zach goes crazy.. or goes off the edge just liek the book is called. so yeah this a a crazy book. But he gets so fed up with it that he is just sick of life. and he really thinks he shoud go to the hospital and get osme help. so he does and it kinda helps him but he just still doesnt see the point to life so he likes to talk to his stster about things it think. He also is talking to his best friend about things but it isnt working. his mom also doesnt reall uunderstand him but he is just crazy in the head. he hated the smel of the hospital because it reminded of his dad getting shoot....his favroit place to eat is deinas dinner. it is a place where this zach kid can chill out and think about things. thats all i can rember from it i also might have been thinking about a movie also.

This review is from: Edge (Hardcover)

Well this book is prety good I like the fact that it keeps you on the Edge of you seat wondering what is going to happen next.
I also like this book because it is short and simple,and yet it still gives you the reality that Zachary the main character in the book goes through some of the same things I do,I guess thats why I can realate to this book so well.
