Should I tell you all the ways in which this broke my heart? How I have maybe never held a character so close as I now do with Borne?
A dystopian future. A mysterious biotech company. A couple of scavengers. A monstrous flying bear. And a squid / sea anemone creature whose adolescent joy and quirky yet unsettling sense of humor often seem like the sole reasons these characters (and me) don’t remain in a state of utter despair throughout the entire story.
How is a book this strange—this weird and incomprehensible—able to coalesce into something so beautiful, deep, and meaningful? You'll have to experience that for yourself.
TL;DR (my review, not the book): Unsettling and disturbing yet somehow weirdly playful. Why is this so fun and also so sad.
