Book Reviews of Code: Veronica (Resident Evil #6)
Book Review: Resident Evil Code Veronica
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought that the book was very well thought out; however, it lacked some things. For example: it was published after the release of Code Veronica X, but it did not have the final fight between Wesker and Chris that it it's main flaw if it had had that fight I would have given it a 5 star rating.Book Review: Resident Evil Code Veronica

This book was enjoyable. I was glad that Steve died; he was too annoying in the game and the book reminded me why.Book Review: As a writer myself...
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
