Industry Reviews
"As much as a novel about a boarding school from hell, a fairy tale with the obligatory locked doors, magic keys, secret caves and refugee children, a bill of indictment against Danish educational policy and a clever riff on Norse myths from the Elder Eddas, 'Borderliners' is a philosophical romance, a black valentine about Time. We are asked to imagine, instead of middle-class minutes and industrialized workweeks, a child's time that's slowed, curved, dark, fluid, swollen, collapsed, at least as various as consciousness itself, and maybe even artful."
Nation - John Leonard (11/20/1995)
"One question hangs in the air when the last page is turned: When do we get his next book?"
Reich
"Gripping and disturbing...Hoeg's evocation of the way a child perceives the world is alarmingly vivid."
Reich
"While the English title of Peter Hoeg's awesome new novel is an appropriate one, something crucial is lost in the translation from the Danish original. Although cumbersome, a direct translation to 'Those Who Might Be Useful' would more precisely convey the theme of this thriller/psychological study....Barbara Haveland's translation is a work of art in itself. She manages to convey the achingly beautiful quality of Hoeg's prose, prose that sometimes makes it necessary to put the book down while you digest what you've just read."
