Excellent book, riveting read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Edge (Paperback)
This book was a pleasure to read and was almost impossible to put down. I am not an expert on horses, nor need to be. The amount of research that goes into DF's books, and the excellent style of writing allows the reader to enter worlds they may not have opportunity to do so without this book. It has started new interests in me such as exploring Canada by train, going to a murder mystery weekend and reading another Dick Francis novel asap.

This review is from: The Edge (Paperback)
I used to be a fan of Dick Francis' thrillers, and still consider his 1960's titles good enough yarns, well worth reading and keeping. Sadly, he then tended to follow the same and, over the years, ever more tired formula - horse racing, hero, romance - which became, at least where this reader is concerned, very tedious and unexciting. What used to be a pleasure deteriorated into something of a chore. Stick to the early titles!

Not one of his best efforts,
By gregnathan@hotmail.com (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Edge (Paperback)
Dick Francis is superb when writing from the heart about jockeys, horses and racing. I have read nearly all his novels and thoroughly enjoyed them. The Edge is too slow moving and complicated compared with most of his earlier works. The central character, a security agent playing a waiter, does not inspire you to read on as well as a one -armed ex- jockey for example. Stick to what you are good at Dick !
