Showing Average rating 3. Rating details. Sort order. Nov 07, Frank rated it it was amazing. 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. 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 agai 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. 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. 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. View all 3 comments. Dec 22,
Todd Akira Morikawa rated it it was ok. The method to the madness. View 1 comment. Feb 04, Alex S rated it really liked it. Very good insight
into the movies. Not perfect by any means, some of the academic references are too sparingly used, could use some deeper exploration, so it can
feel like hopping from one philosopher to the next, but overall a rather good write up. A little section to describe each philosophical belief system
could be quite good too, as a primer for certain sections such as on existentialism. Apr 20, Jenn rated it did not like it Shelves: own. This comes off
as a high school research paper.
It is not well written. It's also basically just a trap index instead of a philosophy book. Aug 25, Arnab rated it it was amazing. Best book ever read
Feb 08, Erin rated it liked it. This book is a graceful combination of two of my favorite things: the Saw franchise, and over-analyzing fiction. Before
discovering it, I could feel the eye rolls of those around me every time I spewed yet another monologue on the overlooked symbolism in these
films. But now, they're not so much of a bother. This was also my first time reading anything to do with philosophy, so admittedly it was a lot to
take in at first.
However, once I'd gotten a hang of the writing, I was breezing right throu This book is a graceful combination of two of my favorite things: the Saw
