I don't really know how to review this book. It was weird, beautiful, disastrous, and horrifying. I didn't really like any of the characters, especially Rachel, and I didn't understand her fascination with Borne. Everything at the end was very disorienting and confusing. Not much was explained, not about the before, not about the after, so there is a bit of mystery that remained unsolved. But it was a fun read and a good ending.
