At fewer than 200 pages, ‘Borderline’ is not only a pretty poor attempt at a story, but too short too. However, to combat this Titan books have also added 3 short stories by Block; two of which continue the slightly dubious tone of the main story, but one that shows why Block is so popular. This is an author who has produced the Bernie Rhodenbarr series, but also the Chip Harrison books. Bear in mind, that bodies will be bared if you dare to cross the ‘Borderline’. The main issue with the book is not the sex or the violence, but the complete disregard for any type of storyline that is worth reading; how could a book with so much going on; be so boring?
If the idea of this book appeals then you might like to have a look at [[Telling Lies for Fun and Profit: A Manual for Fiction Writers by Lawrence Block]] and [[Complex 90 by Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins]] . We also have a review of Block's [[Sinner Man by Lawrence Block|Sinner Man]].
