The Dawn of the Hero Shooter
Overwatch is the gold standard of hero shooters. There may have been a couple before it (Battleborn) and many to come after it (Paladins and the hilarious Chinese knockoffs) but this game takes the idea pioneered by games like Team Fortress and takes it to new heights. The characters are vivid and lively, the arenas are interesting and varied, and the gameplay is top-notch. Controls are responsive and abilities are snappy, characters fire off dialog at one-another to keep the player entertained. And most of all, despite the large roster there are only one or two snags in balance. The dev team is constantly moving to change these problems when a new hero is involved and are very involved with the community as well, up to and including adding skins and dialog to follow trends in their fandom.

This was a very moving and insightful book. It tells the story of Leonard Peacock who decides that he has had enough of this world. He makes up his mind to end his suffering on his 18th birthday, but first he has to give presents to his friends. In doing this, he begins to doubt his choices as he flashes back to why these people are in his life in the first place. But then he delivers the last gift & heads to his former best friend's house with a Nazi P38 to of his former BFF & then himself. I found myself laughing & crying throughout the entire book. It offers a rare view into the mind of a confused, depressed teenager. It was both funny, heart wrenching, & compassionate. The characters are very well written & believable. The story flowed nicely & kept me engaged all the way to the end. This was a great read!

First off the title of this book is entirely fitting!! The end was a bittersweet pill to swallow... it was the perfect ending to the story and yet so frustrating to have it end so abruptly!!
The story itself took me awhile to really get in to, but it is a fascinating story. One that is not touched on much in any WWII fiction.... that of the Japanese internment camps in the US. It focuses on 2 elementary students who are supposedly on opposite sides of the war in the pacific despite being classmates & born in America.
It had all the components of hope and heartbreak, putting you in the story & making you feel like you were there. I just didn't like how slow moving the plot was but what redeemed it was the colorful characters & the fact that it was well written. Being realistic fiction it is hard to make it too fast paced & believable at the same time.
