Okay all am gonna say is I honestly don't know how they managed to escape nemesis but I know for sure wouldn't be able to escape from it and probs wouldn't survive the whole raccoon outcome either.
OK this book was nerve racking and a do mean it this time, alot going on, lots of deaths, very different ending to the game but in all fairness loved it.
Really didn't like nikolai at all found him as a coward due to what he did throughout the book, just glad he got what was coming to him.
I do hope to see Carlos and Jill in the next 2 books as that is all I have elft to read but won't know until a read them.
Now onto resident evil code Veronica, let's see what awaits me.

Super fast-paced, not as engaging as the best in the series and the antagonists were a bit bland but a fun, quick read nonetheless.

I have to confess, my library only has #5 so I read this book way out of order! I was still able to enjoy it because I'm familiar with the games, and if I can get my hands on the other books in this series I look forward to reading those too.
This novelization lacks the hair-raising terror of the games, but I still found it a very enjoyable read. I'd call it more of a fun thriller-mystery. Writing a video game novel is hard, and I think S.D. Perry did a great job considering the parameters and restrictions she was given to fit into Capcom's Resident Evil universe.
Although it was campy and unrealistic at times (as the games can be too), I stayed up all night to follow the characters through their violent cat-and-mouse game. Some of my favorite bits of Perry's writing were how she adapted puzzle-solving gameplay to novel form; her inner dialogue descriptions of Jill and Carlos' never-uttered-out-loud attraction; and the detailed combat scenes.
The only thing that bugged me as I was reading was that, although the "Nemesis" S.T.A.R.S-killer is supposed to be the big baddy (and titular character), Perry didn't use him much. I imagine that he appeared earlier in the book series and I missed his build-up? All the more reason to start at #1, kids!
