‘Burn it or read it’​

​

‘An unorthodox, comical and often deep story of rejection and reconnection with daft, challenging and fun plot twists. It’s not what it seems, but then what is?’

Book Review: The Hurtle of Hell

‘Very funny as well as very entertaining... The Hurtle of Hell is written with style that just flows and makes you read on. I loved that Edge included God’s perspective in it because it provided something fresh... and the comedy shines through because of the characters’
