This is an extraordinary book - a work by the Danish author Peter Hoeg. If you are like me, you never heard of him before! I went out on the edge, and decided "whatthehey" let's try it.
The title "Borderliners" may confuse you a little, what it refers to are children "who don't fit in", because of simply not being smart enough, or for having difficulties with others, or for just failing to fit into slots that society has for them.
This book is about survivors, adolescence, the urge for survival, and the concept of time. The book is full of surprises, both good and bad.
I do recommend this book to those of you who seek an intelligent stroll off the beaten path. It is a strange, unforgettable, wonderfully told story.
