Chronicle As Books Borderliners

Strange things are happening at Biehl's Academy when this elite school opens its doors to a group of orphans and reform-school rejects, kids at the end of the system's tether. The school is run by a peculiar set of rules by which every minute is regimented and controlled. Soon, they suspect they are guinea pigs in a bizarre social experiment and that their only hope of escape is to break through a dangerous threshold of time and space. Peter Høeg's "brilliant" and dystopian Borderliners is a "uniquely philosophical thriller" (Boston Sunday Globe) and a haunting story of childhood travail and hope.

Weigh Up About Books Borderliners

this is ace, but odd, as the tale of a boy rebelling against the state run institution he is in is interrupted with a brief essay on time.

This book has haunted me over the years. Ive seen it a dozen times in used book stores and at library book sales and I finally decided to read it. I liked the authors Smillas Sense of Snow (well, it was OK I read it long before I started writing GR reviews). So I decided to give Borderliners a try.Its a fairly simple story line set in Copenhagen in the mid-1970s. The book is translated from the Danish. Three kids, two boys and a girl, age 14 to 16 or so, are in a strict private school. They

Ever since I read Smilla's Sense of Snow years ago, I wanted to read more by this author, but none of his books were available at my local library in those days. Last year I treated myself to plenty of online buying of used books, and this was one of quite a few Peter Høeg titles I purchased. It is not an easy book to read. The style is complex and a little confusing, with the narrator using 'I', 'you', and 'one' interchangeably but always meaning 'I'. Once you adapt to that, the reading gets

Good in parts. Dragged in others.

Good but not his best

I loved this book, it was deeply enthralling and beautifully poetic. However, it was also very somber and whilst not reading it I found myself wondering off into the world of the borderliners, which trust me, is not joyous.

I read this a few years ago and remember enough of it to keep my eye out for more Peter Hoeg books whenever I am lucky enough to be in the vicinity of a book shop. It doesn't hurt that he is Scandavian as I have been on a Nordic craze as of late.Borderliners is not an easy book to read. In places it is difficult to follow, which makes sense because our narrator is a child, who though bright is, as the back cover says, damaged (what does that mean, anyway, 'damaged'?) and he is in a situation
