I know nothing about this series. I did start to play the first remastered game but, for some reason, I was obsessed with the platinum. Because of that, I didn't make it far (I missed a trophy) and I wasn't paying attention to the game itself. I do plan to go back eventually and truly enjoy the game.

So, this book shows the before, how Rapture came to be. It's roots, if you will. It was an interesting listen and I'll be taking this knowledge with me into the game. I think it will make the experience better, knowing the history.

It was well written and interesting, but something held me back from giving it four stars. I'm not a professional so I can't name what that thing is. It's more of a feeling. Like it feels wrong to give it 4 stars but it also feels wrong to give it 3 stars. It sits nicely on the line between the two.
