Inchohate jerk off. Do Not Bother.    [ just to be clear, I read BORNE twice, LOVED IT,  and the second time was immediately before reading this.] I have so many negative things to say. Absolutely hated this book. His writing is excellen but it almost seems like one of those projects that you had at University where the professor slaps their forehead and gives you a pass because clearly you're trying but in fact it's an incomprehensible shit mess.
