BioShock: Rapture

This underwater paradiso is ruled by Andrew Ryan's pure capitalist ethos, relished by various corrupt factions of nature warping scientists, crime organizing gangsters, perverts, and thugs of all stripes. This book provides a great dive into the depths of Rapture before its fall and leaves the reader wanting more.

On my way to Dallas, I decided to buy a book for the long flight. I found there, in the bookstore, this little charm. Expecting it to be a dull, poor adaptation of a great game, I was sorely mistaken. It was surprisingly full of character, backstory, and overall Rapture atmosphere. I recommend this to any Bioshock fan, if you're looking for a decent read that gives history and context to the game.

Not only terrible but bad enough that the original Bioshock creator and Creative Director Ken Levine distanced himself from the project and has publically admitted he will not read it. My own issues is that the characters dont even remotely resemble their game versions. Andrew Ryan would NEVER lift a finger to create Rapture he is the god or king of Rapture and his followers built it. Don't buy this title it's a throw away cash grab and John Shirley is the James Patterson of nerd culture, constantly pushing out book after book with no love or patience for the art, just ready to cash his paycheck.
