Book Reviews of Code: Veronica (Resident Evil #6)
Book Review: One of the best books in the series
Summary: 5 Stars
S.D. Perry's novelizations of the Resident Evil video game series have been excellent mostly, and this volume in the series is no exception. Code: Veronica, the sixth book in the series, is based from the video game of the same name which you can find on the Dreamcast and PS2 game systems. Perry adds so much more to the story and characters than the writers of the game's storyline ever could; the suspense and shocks make it a page turner and you genuinely care for the heroes. The story starts as Claire Redfield (one of the survivors of City of the Dead, the third book in the series and the second game in the video game series) is captured by Umbrella and sent to an uncharted island where she is kept prisoner until, as luck in the Resident Evil universe would have it, all hell breaks loose and zombies and monsters are abound. Eventually she meets up with another prisoner, Steve Burnside, and the two become allies trying to escape, all the while Claire's brother Chris is on her trail to save her. The relationship between Claire and Steve is compelling, as is the sense of urgency that is at an all time high here. While I think some parts of the ending get more and more unbelieveable, Perry's novelization remains faithful to the game it is based on, and if you've never played the game you'll want to after reading this. All in all, Code: Veronica is one of the best in the series (books and games respectively), and if your a fan of anything Resident Evil then you have no reason not to read this.Book Review: Was it the zombie or just the man with the gun?
Summary: 5 Stars
For those of us who have remained stalwart and fierce fans of the Resident Evil saga in gaming (despite the Survivor fiasco), these books are indeed a welcome additive. S.D. Perry remains a wonderful writer who does complete justice to the series, and gives us insights into our favorite heroes' (and villains') minds. When most games are made into books (or even movies--hint, hint), they tend to get over commercialized and lose a lot of their appeal.....or even worse, stray so much from the original storyline that it becomes barely recognizable as the game we know and love. But thankfully, this is not the case. And let me just say--this is not a "guy thing". That's because I'm a girl (obviously :P) and I still remain enraptured by the entire series (or maybe it's just Wekser...nah, gotta be the series). This book is definitely one of my favorites in the horror genre. It's too bad I couldn't say the same about the movie........Book Review: ONE OF THE BEST NOVELS!

THE DOGS! She comes across new friends such as Steve, and new enemies such as the Ashford twins, Alfred and Alexia. Will she make it out alive? Well, i won't ruin it for you... if you want to know more about it... read the book... I TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT!!
Book Review: Second best in the books series, but best in game series
Summary: 5 Stars
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. - Evan Cooper, the most devoted fan to the Resident Evil series!
Book Review: Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Summary: 5 Stars
Resident Evil: Code Veronica by S. D. PerryPlot: While searching for her brother, Chris, Claire Redfield breaks into Umbrella HQ, gets captured, then becomes a prisoner on Rockfort island. The island is attacked and the T-virus is unleashed causing numerous people to turn into zombies. There are also some mutants on this island. Claire meets up with another prisoner named Steve Burnside. Together, they must not only survive, but find a way off the island. However, there is a far greater evil waiting for them even if they make it off the island... Alexia.
As far as I know this is the last book of six, and it is the best! The plot is awesome, as is the action. The personalities of the characters are very well developed, as are there reactions to each situation.
I give this book 5 star.
