Awesome book for fans of the game

I read this after playing all 3 games and loved it. It fits very well with the story from the first game. Having replayed the first Bioshock recently, really helped visualize the environments and characters. If you are a fan of the games you will enjoy this.

The book gives you wonderful background to the game series. Read it before or after, it doesn't really matter. A brief history of the foundation and events that take place in Rapture leading up to the games. Wonderful Lore building for those interested.
