Rating: Summary: Not one of the best Resident Evil books! Review: I had one problem with the book. S.D. Perry leaves out some important details of the story. For one, no zombies. What is resident evil without zombies. Now I admit that Perry is a good author. But you need the details to tie a story together. the first of the book was starting off great until about half way. What is the deal with mutated dinosaurs and goats. Come on, put zombies where they belong. And what killed me the most was Leon and Claire. There relationship didn't go nowhere, but to say be careful, or I care about you. If S.D. Perry makes a resident evil #5. She needs to put the full details of Leon and Claire. so overall the best part of the book was Finding out Trent's pass. Now that was neat.
Rating: Summary: It'll blow you away!!! Review: I never read. But I LOVE Resident Evil. So when I heard there was a book I took the first one out. Finished the book in a day and a half. I continued reading until the last but not final book. I immediatly went and bought them all. I thought it was clever and suspensful and Perry broke the secret on Trent just in time to make me crave for another novel. YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!!
Rating: Summary: One can only hope the game follows these books.... Review: I must say that I (a big RE2 fan) ran across these books and immediately bought all 4 just to see what they were like. The first one was good (and thankfully showed how capable and smart the team was despite the bad acting in the first game), and the second book took probably the most uninteresting character from the first game (although the first book made her soooo much more interesting) and put her as the only known character in this book - and it was *very* cool and gave us a new team to get to know. The third one, what can I say. I played this game how many times, knew the story word for word begining to end - and yet I was still on the edge of my seat until the end!! Watching Leon's plight and Claire protecting Sherry - god it was good. And it made Ada's part so much more understandable. The forth book? What can I say, Leon, Rebecca, Claire, and the other stars team together? It was wonderful - I had to read it in one sitting - I couldn't help it. What I'm saying is that SD Perry took a game with a vague story and made it into my now favorite book series, I just fear the day that the story ends.....
Rating: Summary: Good start, bad finish Review: The start was great, taking up right after Book 3, went head on into it, only to have the ending get powerbombed for a quick, cruddy ending.. a very boring telling of what happened to Reston, and absolutely no telling of what happened to the team that went in (in the end I mean).. c'mon.. this was WAY to rushed towards the end and coulda been a lot better
Rating: Summary: One of the better ones of the series Review: I have read each one of the series and Underworld has to be the best. I read it in one day, a suspensful novel worthy of Resident Evil. It was interesting to see how a little more prepared the team was, with assault rifles and grenades. Although there weren't as many monsters, there were original ones, which kept it interesting. The parts with the Umbrella S.W.A.T. team was pretty cool. I can't wait for the next book!
Rating: Summary: AHHH!! SOO GOOD!! Review: Stephanie Perry is so good at righting this chit!! No matter how sucky it may be (But it isnt) I still give it a 5 star!! I luv RE and Bio Hazard (But the're the same thing) Yea Yea. Im gonna get the Dream Caster version of Bio Hazard 3!! CODE VERONICA and the playstation one.. It kicks arse!! Who ever plays both RE will luv the books, well I know I do, but... Caliban Cove wasnt all that swell. But I enjoyed reading that, but this!! RE2 and Underworld are amazing!!!!!!! I luved the the new mutants and that dinosaur. That guy makes me mad, Claire deserves to see her brother!! I bet she will never ever see him again unless they meet up in Austria (prolly not). So whoever gives RE books under a 5, doesnt even like the RE series... I know I do!! Good luck S.D. Perry!!!
Rating: Summary: Great book! Review: This was a Great book. It wasn't as goood as Caliban Cove, but it was better than the 1st or the 3rd. The ending leaves room for one more in Europe. Will there be another one? Does anyone know?
Rating: Summary: Absolutely LUVD it! Review: S.D. Perry, if you're reading this, you should be proud of yourseld for writing this novel! It's the BEST of the three, City of the Dead, coming in next.I seriously hope you're in the process of writing Resident Evil 5. RE 4 left me hanging a bit. The only teeny problem I could find in the book was that Leon and Claire's relationship wasn't really elaborated on. RE 5 had better have some romance between them! Maybe even them making out... =)! Remember, all RE fans are waiting for your Resident Evil #5 novel!!
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: I just loved this book. It was great how Perry took characters from the second book and the third book and had them work together to fight Umbrella. This one kept me reading because you never know what kind of plot twists may come next. She really keeps you interested. Another great job!
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Terrible!!!! Review: This is the worst RE book I've ever read! The plot reads like a bad low-budget movie, and most of all there were no Zombies!!! Takes place after City of the Dead when Rebecca and crew pick up Leon and Claire. They organize...er, hastily assemble a strike team to attack a secret Umbrella outpost. Now here's the fun part: They go into an UNGUARDED facility, armed with two assualt rifles, a couple of 9mm handguns and about six grenades (geez, I wonder what happened to Leon's shotgun and magnum from the third novel; he still had them when Bec and Crew picked him up.) and the team gets split up and doesn't meet each other until at the end of the novel. Leon and John are put through a survival game scenario (hardly original) by a mad scientist while Claire and the others are stuck outside the base (real nice). After a couple battles with some wimpy monsters (except for the hunters, they're tough) and some buddy-buddy you watch my back I'll watch yours scenes between Leon, John and Henry, Leon decides to release a monster called "Fossil" to destroy the base and said to hell with their mission, out of rage as a result of Henry's death. Didn't he consider their own safety while the monster was running around when they were still in the base? What if the thing got to the surface of the underground complex and started killing people? ANd the romance between Leon and Claire was pretty inevitable but seemed out of place because the author never bothered to develop the relationship though the course of the adventure. This is a fine example of thoughtless plotting that ruined the story. The other RE books by this author are excellent. This one is a complete let-down.
