C3PX:

I am really enjoying Rapture so far. Haven't been able to read as much as I'd like since I got it, only about 1/4th of the way through.

Well, blast. I had a sizable post here with my comments but I accidentally got away from it and now it's lost to the internets. :(

I got my copy, which was the paperback by the way, incase that makes you feel better for the price I got, and started reading it.

I can't say I'm overly impressed with the first 20 pages. I don't think Shirley has convinved me he knows Ryan. I think the first couple pages had Ryan saying things I can't imagine the Ryan in my head ever saying. I think the writing of Ryan in both BioShocks treated him as a very sympathetic character with some human flaws. The few pages I have read have shown me a really shallow Ryan. It seems to me that Shirley doesn't really have any idea what would make a man like Ryan tick...

Hopefully it gets better.
