Why is there is there a cost-of-living crisis? Why does the climate crisis keep getting worse? What causes conflict, socio-economic crises, and climate change and what can you do about it, for your family, your business, and your country? I thought the plot was very boring and tedious and I found the story dragged on impossibly long. I didn't find myself caring very much about the characters either - I mean, the only one I actually did like was the racist grandfather who redeemed himself by not being racist. Other than that, I really didn't like the characters at all: Danny was big-headed, Cathy was naive, Joan and Des were silly, pointless side characters and Chris wasn't in it that much.

In an era where the term “sustainability” is becoming increasingly commoditised, ‘The Edge’ helps us discern greenwashing from genuine environmental stewardship. It discusses the role… My name is Sasha, not Barbie,” she snapped. Sasha, hmm. I once knew a stripper with that name. I liked it.Foy, Paul (19 May 2000).

A complex, high-powered thriller that will keep the reader guessing . . .This is a winner from a pro."— KirkusIt's very clever the way Gibbons put a split narrative. At first Danny and his mother Cathy run away from her boyfriend, Chris. When they reach 'The Edge' at Cathy's parents house, the grandfather doesn't welcome Danny because of his skin colour. He is, at the beginning, a very prejudice... Following its initial release on VHS, The Edge was released on a non- anamorphic widescreen NTSC DVD in the US, with no extras, save the original theatrical trailer. Meanwhile, PAL DVDs released in Europe, Australia, etc. feature an anamorphic transfer, the trailer, a six-minute featurette, seven short cast and crew interviews and five text biographies. A rags-to-riches deal for single mother LuAnn Tyler is deadlier than she ever could have imagined in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from David Baldacci.

Cathy, who gave birth to Danny when she was sixteen years old, is shown to be a loving and caring person. After she and her son suffer prolonged abuse from her boyfriend, Chris, Cathy often worries about how Danny has been affected by what he was forced to go through.
