City of the Dead (Resident Evil #3)

I'll start off by saying that I'm a huge RE nerd. I love this stuff and the novels by Mrs. Perry are amazing and I recommend them to any RE fan. I first read these books right after RE0 was released on the GameCube. I also recommended these be released on the Kindle about ten times over the past two years, so when they finally did I snatched them all up on their release dates!Resident Evil: City of the DeadFor anyone who's played RE2 and knows that there are actually 4 total campaigns rolled into one game...this book follows Leon's A Scenario and Claire's B Scenario. Now that we've established that; this book is my absolute favorite! This is the longest RE novel Mrs. Perry has written in the series. It covers all the major plot points and gives you a view of Ada's perspective during the outbreak in Raccoon City. This book is so good that it's very VERY hard to put down and every time I read it I have a hard time keeping my mind on anything else. The author does a fantastic job of relating the relationships between Claire and Sherry and between Leon and Ada. Even now (post-RE6 release) you can feel that these four are tied together emotionally, even if the RE universe changed their positions a little bit.If you read any of these books I would suggest it be this one; let the Resident Evil 2 nostalgia take over!Note:If you've played the games then I would recommend that you read these books in numerical order (making RE0 last). There are some discrepancies between the books because the RE universe has been tweaked and updated for clarification over the past fifteen years or so. Mrs. Perry does mention this at the beginning of her books and for the most part they still flow together nicely and don't take away from stories at all.

The book was in perfect condition! Fast shipping very happy!

Good book

I have always loved the story of RE but these books go into great detail of what the characters experience during the events. Make the movies like these and I’ll be there opening night

Okay so first let me say that the book itself was a great read. My only problem with it was the back page was ripped and exposed the pages in the back. It was definitely not in great condition but because it's Resident Evil, I'll let this slide. It would've been great to get one in good condition.

I was always a huge fan of the now-classic Resident Evil games for the original playstation game console. One entry in particular that I hold near and dear to my heart(and hope someday to see a next-gen remake version of,hear that Capcom?) I'm talkin' about the beloved seedy,moody,dark,yet all-too-fun and enthralling second entry.The fact that the author has already done the novelization for the first game was good enough for me(there are many other novel adaptations for the RE series). But upon reading City of the Dead,I was once again thrusted into the roles of Leon and Claire,this time from a deeper,more intimate readers perspective of the two main protagonists. The desperation and fright of being in a city once filled with life,now crawling with the flesh-eating undead and many other biological terrors is food for thought(pun intended 8^D)If you are like me,when you read,you let your imagination grab hold.....and it just makes for a much more skin-crawling,pulse-pounding experience. Leon and Claire have different reasons for coming into town on this faithful night,what they get instead;much like in the video game....is a night in Hell.Almost everything about the book is great. From their encounters and reactions with the licker,spiders,decaying dobermans,the Tyrant known as Mr.X,or The G-Virus creature once known as Dr. William Birkin....to the monologue or rather,inner thoughts of many of the assisting side characters;Ada Wong,Annette and Sherry Birkin and the mentally-unstable police chief Irons. My only qualm is certain minor elements or puzzles of the game were excluded in the novel. But these are trivial things indeed.All in all,Classic Resident Evil fans rejoice. I hope you guys enjoy the boom as I have.

I really enjoyed S.D. Perry’s take on Resident Evil 2. The plot ran very smoothly and I enjoyed getting to see Leon and Claire in print. This one was longer then the others but still quite enjoyable. All in all I would recommend this one to anyone who is a fan of the Resident Evil series or a fan of Horror.

Omg s.d. perry is the best book writer ever ok so i love to read and as a nerd i find a lot of good books cause i read all kinds but s.d. perry you have changed my world this is by far the best book series i have ever read i read it all the time, ok so you don't want to pay 13$ because it based of a game you played well this book series goes beyond the game it puts so much detail onto characters and enemies if you like resident evil or horror books i reccomend you get every book in this series and i hope to pick up more of s.d. perrys wonderful books
