Any book title that has the word philosophy in it is usually a pass for me but being a big horror fan I was just too intrigued. This is just a fun book for any fan of the Saw series. The author C.J. Patton basically looks at the moral and philosophical reasoning of Jigsaw (John Kramer)as he kidnaps and traps his victims. It was pretty cool to really try to get into the mind of Jigsaw and I admit I look at the movies a little different now. I need to go watch the series from start to finish again.

Another cool aspect is the "Trap Index" that lists each trap in the Saw series in chronological order. Along with the trap title it includes who set the trap, reason, description, pass/fail, and comments for each one. It was fun to read how the traps would of played out in real time as opposed to what order we actually witnessed them. I had way too much fun reading the trap index and reliving each and every trap. I'm a tad concerned to be honest.

So The Cutting Edge is just a really fun and fast read. Hopefully the author will take on some other horror movie themed books in the future.
