Half way thru the 3rd bioshock game and so far it's excellent. The gameplay the characters the sky city of Columbia so bright and colourful compared to the underwater city of the first two games if it seems too perfect starts off like that but soon ends chaos when u arrive looking for Elizabeth as I've already rescued Elizabeth already so I'm gonna keep playing too see where the plot thickens playing this as part of the bioshock collection

Suspenseful romance
This was a suspenseful romance that was a fairly quick but also an easy and satisfying read. Livvy's fiance went missing and she hired someone used to Columbia to help her find Alec. Thomas was the professional but slightly shady companion and protector.

The whole time in Columbia was great reading, it was twisty and unpredictable; the pages just flew by. The final twist could have been stronger but I was here for the culmination, even if it was a little convenient. A great, quick read.

I felt like this story had some potential, especially with the first few chapters. However, it quickly changed for me. "The Beast' is written in dual personalities, that of Dimitri and Columbia, which suited the story fine, but a lot of it felt boringly repetitious - reading almost the exact same moments, just with different points of view. Then came the instalove. Sure, Columbia put up a decent fight, but everything that happens before Columbia returns home literally happens within 2 days, tops. By then, Dimitri is already changing and deciding she's the cure to his darkness and Columbia is trying not to confess that she's already in love with him. I hate to say it, but once both characters suddenly decided it didn't matter how fast they fell for each other, it's what they truly felt, I lost a lot of interest in the story. Jaden promises a tale of darkness without the "typical love story" aspect. Sure, most love stories don't involve an ex-Russian mafia murderer falling in love with a self-harming, sexually abused young woman... But the instalove, the immediate realization that this person is "different", the sudden desire to change a characteristic that's been ingrained for years... That stuff was fluff.
  
[Out of War] by [Sara Cameron] is the story of the Children's Movement for Peace in Columbia. It is a non fiction book written for lower readers. The high interest of the topic, especially to many ELL students, will be a help but the way the stories are told is dull and could be written better.
  
An expedition to track a mythological creature in British Columbia is fraught with peril before they've even reached their destination. But who is behind the danger? While I often praise the mysteries in this series, this is my favorite because of the great twists and turns. And the reprint allowed him to add one sentence that took care of a plot hole from the first edition.

"You may recognize Diane Guerrero’s name from Orange Is the New Black and Jane the Virgin, but her memoir is about the tragedy that struck her in her childhood. When she was just 14 year old, she came home to discover that her parents and brother had been arrested and were being deported back to Columbia. Diane got to stay in the US because she was born here. At a time when immigrants are living in more fear than ever, Guerrero’s book is a must-read."
