Review: This book is pretty cool! The reason why I like this book is, because, Well you see I have the game, and I don't really like Steve Burnside in the game, but when I read the book...WOW...He rocked! My respect for Steve DeCaprio just went up. This book by S.D.Perry gives alot of description. I recomend this book 5 thumbs(Or stars)up!!! Rock on Steve!!!

Summary: S.D. Perry does it again!
Review: Those of you who have read my previous reviews will know that I am a hardcore fan of the Resident Evil series. In addition to this,there isn't one book that S.D.Perry has written that I have not enjoyed. With that said, here's my take on this recent installment.
Once again, I must congradulate Perry for breathing life into these characters. She continues to stay true to the videogame series while at the same time revealing certain aspects of the characters (Claire, Steve, Chris) that helps us to identify and even sympathise with their struggles. The mythology surrounding the evil Ashford twins, Alfred and Alexia, is finally fleshed out in this novel, filling in the gaps left by the videogame.
When I first encountered these evil characters, I felt disappointed, believing their introduction in the game was ridiculous and farfetched. However, S.D.Perry helps readers to understand their origions, and she brings credibility to their role in this story, as well as the reappearance of Albert Weskers.
Finally, the story has a happy yet sad ending that leaves readers to question the possible future of the surviving characters: Will they ever bring down Umbrella? Will their life on the run ever end? Where will the series go from here? These are questions I have often pondered after reading each novel. I have no idea how the game and the novels alike will bring a close to Umbrella's evil legacy, but whatever happens, I look forward to the next novel and videogame; I'm sure other fellow RE fans will too.

Summary: Second best in the books series, but best in game series
Review: What can I say, it's Resident Evil Code: Veronica. So far this has proved to be my second favourite book in the series, next to of course the umbrella conspiracy. Very well detailed, lots of action and the scene with Wesker and Chris is a classic. The only two things I have to say disappointed me was the lack of attention Chris Redfield recieved. There should have been more pages about his scenario of events, like the game. The book should have also focused on Residetn Evil Code: Veronica X for the ps2; then there would have been the amazing fight scene at the end between Chris and Wesker. Also Claire would have met Wesker instead of being totally clueless as to his exsistance. This book was awesome, if you haven't read it, then I suggest you should.

Summary: As a writer myself...
Review: When I first saw Resident Evil in [retail store], I was instantly attracted to it. Resident Evil has quickly become one of my favorite games ever. To read a book based upon the deep and lively ideas of the game appealed to me greatly. However, as time has passed, I have grown more jaded to this series. Book one was much loved by me and I thought Perry did a very good job of turning the game into a book. But somewhere along the line I think she lost intrest. The newest book, Code Veronica, is based on the...THE game of the series and it just doesn't do justice to its origins. One of my major peeves about this book is the writing style. Villians all seem to be the same...Mostly insane and bloodthirsty. True, the game portrays them as this but where is the cold calculations of Alexia and the brutal efficiency of Alfred? They are so...One dimensional. As for the hereos, I didn't feel that the Chris Redfield of the game would have liked his book counterpart. The book version cusses randomly and moves about his objectives without thought. Sure, I would scream obsanities if I was shooting at a zombie...But when I was just walking around and talking? This aspect began to really draw me down when applied to Claire and Leon. I just didn't think they were well portrayed. As a "somewhat" writer myself, could I have done a better job...maybe. Perry has her action sequences down and she does write very well. But compared to some of the people who put out books, the Resident Evil series is a poor one. If I were to make a suggestion on this, I would say read books one(Resident Evil) and three(Caliban Cove), by far the best. Also read four(Umbrella Conspiracy) as it has some good personal writting by Perry. But stay clear of the others. They just don't tell the same story as the games and you may even feel a little robbed by the experience.
