Customer Reviews

Corny but so much fun!

I love this series. They’re like popcorn or a dumb action movie. Definitely recommend if you’re a resident evil fan. The copy I receieved was one of the older editions with the older covers and i loove it. It’s so corny. Jill is literally running around kicking ass in this book in a MINISKIRT and TUBE TOP. It’s insane.

Salvation for those of us that just need more!

S.D. Perry has once again answered our call in her 5th Resident Evil story. If you're like me (a sick and twisted individual that was disappointed by the lack of story in every game) you won't be able to set this one down. In all of her Resident Evil books she has taken a story that we all know from the games and expands on it. She writes what we can only imagine is going on during those annoying plot holes. This book delivers just like the previous 4, giving an incredible game new life with each word written. In my opinion, this is one of the best out of all 5. It not only goes into detail about the characters and events in the game, but also the elusive Mr. Trent that seems to know everything about every Umbrella created crisis. So what are you waiting for? Turn off all the lights, light a candle and don't forget a spare change of pants!

Resident Evil Nemesis rocks

So now we finally get to the book that i have been waiting for ages to come out. And to say that i researved this thing iam real glad to see that this is the best of the series so far. I think this book is a real showcase for how good S.D Perry really is. Anyhow back to the book the story is quite simple Jill Valentine (Yes all you annoracks out there she was in the firs book) is trapped in Racoon city and must try and escape while been chased by a 10ft tyrant wearing a leather jacket and sporting a rocket launcher so the odds are kind of against her. Once more though Jill find help in Carlos Oliveiara who is some kind of south American mercenary. What about this book is that it actually adds a couple of new plot twists to Resident Evil 3 the game. For instance Nicholai i think is a much stronger characther in this than he is in the game. While you know what will happen in the end its still the best of the bunch so far and really highlights how good this series is. Rollo on Code Veronica

S.D. Perry is the greatest author

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was a great game. At my age, I'm always playing Resident Evil games--I've beaten 2 and 3, and the new game Survivor, but haven't beaten 1 because it's a bit hard in my opinion, and I don't like renting it. I own Resident Evil 2, but I've borrowed Resident Evil 3 from my friend many times, and also rented it from Blockbuster. It's a really, really fun game. S.D. Perry keeps me from jumping reading this book (jumping out of fright). She is truly a great author, I don't know how she does it! But I hope she novelizes Resident Evil-Survivor, Code Veronica, and the game before Resident Evil 1--Resident Evil: Zero. Also, check out her original novels, Caliban Cove & Underworld, which are both fantastic books that I also own! Also check out The Umbrella Conspiracy & The City of the Dead--they're awesome novelizations of RE 1 + 2! You rule, S.D. Perry! Keep writing books! I highly reccommend this book for any horror fans.

Done it again!

SD Perry has done it again, in style! First I was sceptical of this book thinking that it might not be able to top the other excellent books in the series. After ordering and reading the first 4 books of the Resident Evil series, I completely fell in love with the books! None of the suspense from the game is missed and even more things are revealed which you cannot see in the game!In Resident Evil: Nemesis, the excellence of the author still continues. This time Jill Valentine is fighting off the zombies once again in Raccoon City. It is much different because the incredibly strong Nemesis is after her, with vengeance!Perry's style really keeps you going and makes you want to read more and more. The suspense really adds to the storyline and makes you want to read on.Hard-core Resident Evil fans must own this book. Worth all the money!

S.D Perry sticks to Resident evil !

I was very lucky to have read the new Resident evil book before it came out and i must say she stuck to the plot quite well. After reading her Resident evil underworld story she let me down with poor excuse for characters and a very complexed plot that had very little to do with the Resident evil saga. If u have read all of her RE books u know that very few monsters came out in all her four stories because all of the stories were more detail and hardly no accion. In Resident evil nemisis she sticks with her detailed style and she has the characters interact a lot more with the monsters giving the book a great read.I'm a very strong critic and for me to give a book a 5 rating it has to be a fast , smart, suspence triller. A lot of people ask me if Resident evils all accion and no dialog? I always tell them how much dialog could u have in a city infested with zombies? She did a great job on her novels and i think we should give her the credit because not every author can make a video game into a 5 book mini series and have people screaming for more. Even if we know the plot of the story because you played the game its still fun to read and it will have you wanting more just like a lot of people waiting for this long a waited novel.
