I picked this up from the library because I was gifted a copy of The Strange Bird, wanted to start it, then realized I should read this first. And I'm glad I did! Borne was a great read. The world was fascinating (but depressing). The biotech and strange wildlife made me want to see a visual representation of this, which isn't usually something I hope for.
I loved Wik as a character - I actually found him much more compelling than the main character, Rachel. And that's my main problem with the book - Rachel didn't seem to have much of a personality. She had an interesting life story, but no personality. Which is less than ideal for the main character.
But as a whole I enjoyed the bleak but fascinating world - and the interrogation of personhood - enough that I'd recommend this.
