I was partly scared to pick it up because I always make the assumption that I’m not going to fully grasp what’s actually going on, but, you know, it doesn’t really matter – I will take what I will from this book and so will you, we might discuss it and open each others eyes to more possibilities, open up new avenues, but even without that I can say that I really loved this book.
And yet, in spite of that, I love those covers, they draw me in and hold my attention and more than that they are a perfect representation of this book. Frankly, I don’t know, and having read the story I’m still not sure I do – I suddenly think I’ve found an image that makes sense but really I haven’t. Now, literally, what the actual fuck is going on with either of those covers. I suppose there’s something in us all that makes us want to find the sense of something, figure out the puzzle – give it a name we understand.
They are strangely hypnotic aren’t they, you want to look at them, to make sense of them, just turn them around slightly or turn them upside down even.
Before even starting to review Borne just let me ask you to take a look at those two covers.
