Personal Response: For my personal response, I would say that the book and the series deserves a 4 star rating out of 5 stars. Everything about it filled up all of my awkward video game imagination mind games. Though I wish I could know what will happen next. Will Claire and Chris actually meet up with the STARS, or will there jet crash and everything will just start over.
Plot Summary: Claire Redfield is captured by Umbrellas employees after the break-in at the 4th output Nemesis. Part of her plans she is brought to an unknown island of the world that they call Rockfort Island. Rumor has it that anyone that went there never returned. Except a test subject was released out, turning the island into a zombie party. Claire trying to find a way off the island, ended up finding into a young man named Steve Burnside trying to do the same. This boy was fascinated by Claire because of what she can do as for survival, that he would do anything for her, even reveal his deepest secrets. The killing of his infected parents in order to save his life. Claire and Steve were on the adventure to find out what is going on with these living weapons and end it once and for all. Kill all of the people responsible for it all, kill the Ashfords. After a long trek of killing zombies, finding Alfred's crossdressing secret, killing him by his own trap and flying a self controlled jet to Antarctica. They found out that the Antarctic outpost is where Code: Veronica is, where Alexia Ashford is. A human subject so powerful it could control the world. With the help of her brother Chris and the sacrifice of Steve, the infected wolfman whom still had the strength to realize who he was. Claire was able to self-destruct the outpost and fly out in style. What happens next no one knows. The end of the book is only the beginning
Character Analysis:
Claire Redfield- The brother of the legend STARS member Chris Redfield. An intelligent woman that know almost everything when it comes to Umbrella and the Ashfords. Claire is a woman with a passion to protect the STARS from being unable to win. She later becomes a woman who can only care for others.
Chris Redfield- The myth, the legend himself. Chris was there since the beginning of it all, finding out the deepest of secrets known to man... (Living weapon experimented test subjects). He then sacrifices his heroism to save his sister in which he succeeds in.
Steve Burnside- Steve Burnside is a 18 year old man that in the beginning was very interested in Claire. He tried to do his best to impress the girl, but ended up dead in the end to Code: Veronica.
Alfred Ashford- Alfred Ashford is a middle aged man that is the son of the man who is the creator of the evil company "Umbrella". This man while insane, pretends to be two people so they don't know that one is gone. He later finds himself trapped in his own scheme and dies.
Alexia Ashford- Alexia Ashford is the sister of Alfred Ashford. She at age ten was to be the subject Code: Veronica for her father's experiment. In her absence, no one could know she was gone. She then becomes a monster and gets blown up in a facility self destruct.
Recommendation: I would like to recommend this series to anyone that is a fan of zombie movies and/or games. I would also like to recommend this to Kyle Scherwinski

A very cool and faithful adaptation of the video-game.

I saw this on one of the shelves at the public library, and it caught my attention. I have seen the first movie, which I thought was ok, but I have not played the video game.

I was hoping to get another piece to add to the overall story. I was dissapointed. it reads like an overly narrated video game strategy guide.
