Summary: Could Have Been Much Better
Review: Being a huge fan of the movies, I was very excited to purchase this book; however, I was sorely disappointed. A lot of the most simplistic of details are wrong (ex."Bart" Kaplan?), leading me to believe that the writer did no more research beyond simply watching the movie a couple of times. The characters are boring and flat, and have been developed no further than those of the movie; the scenes are often too brief and poorly described, and the transitions between are awkward. I had hoped to see more depth than in the movie, which is what one generally expects from a novel; however, I found little to none.
However, the book does deserve two stars simply for the background information given at the beginning of the book. Though poorly described in parts, it's interesting and informative, and gives another side to the movie. It would definately be described as the better half of the book.
Overall, the book is most certainly not worth it's price. If you're an RE fan, I suggest you take it out at a library, or borrow it, or buy it used.

Summary: Excellent Book, One of the Best Movie Based Books
Review: I found Resident Evil: Genesis to be a very good book. Other than messing up one character's name, I don't see why the person who wrote the first review is complaining about. The book goes into so much detail about what's going on that the book is about half done before you get to where the movie begins. And I found it very interesting in how the author went into so much detail about the back grounds of characters such as Rain. I definitely recommned this book to any fans of the Resident Evil series.

Review: Resident evil is about the t-virus leak in the first film, which it is based on. Tremendous description and brilliant action. Highly recommended. *****

Summary: Resident Evil: Genesis
Review: Well, first off it is nice to find that they have finaly released a book baded after the movie and not the video game. I must admit that when I first saw the movie that I was alittle/very annoyed at the fact that they took the story from Capcom themselves and made a different version of the video game that I had come to love so much. Now that "Keith R.A. DeCandido" has writen a book with more endepth information that details major scenes in the movie that normally didn't make alot of scence. Keith R.A. DeCandido did a fantastic jod at explaining the story in a different sirection and style from the way that S.D. Perry (Author of the other Resident Evil book series) went. I am proud to give this book a well deserved "5 out of 5 Stars".
