The First Look of this book that I read was interesting, but the actual book was better. The book was layered with so many lessons that weren't overt. I also loved how the book was written, however I was at times confused about the fact that I was reading a journal rather than the story as it was happening.
I think that Guy is the main character that you want in all books. He is a bit aloof and just focused on himself alone. That can be seen in how his academic colleague identified him at the end of the book. But I would like to believe that outside of him not being able to stay one dry land, that he did actually learn something while he was at The Edge, but the way that the ending was written it was very hard to tell if that happened. And that was the main thing that was missing for me overall. I like a book that has a clear ending and it doesn't leave you to wonder if it all worked out for the best in the end.
