These books get my son to read
Having never read these books myself, I can only tell you how I feel about them as a parent.
I love them.
My son is reading again. When he was little, he used to love reading. But as he got older, he started hating it. Imagine my disappointment when, as a writer, my son doesn't like to read. Fortunately, it was just a matter of finding a subject matter that he liked. He loves playing the video game version of these books, so I thought I'd pick one up as a lark and see if he'd read it.
He didn't put it down for a solid week and read the whole thing cover to cover. I'm so pleased.
As a parent, I'm not as concerned with the subject matter (for the most part) as I am with the reading itself. If these books can interest my son in reading, then they are worth ever penny of the list price.
Score: 5

Only For Hardcore Fans
While the first is entertaining in and of itself, the second novel in the Resident Evil series does very little to draw in the casual reader, taking readers out of the frighteningly familiar urban setting and replacing it with an absurdly, almost comical, rush mission to a cave in Maine.
Mostly, fans will enjoy the novel, though it seems to stray from the original concept, which doesn't bode well for those looking for the homogeneity of Resident Evil. Zombies and humans duking it out, the latter looking for answers as to why this apocalypse has come to take place.
That is not to say that the book doesn't at least deliver on the gore of the previous book, which is definitely a plus. The looming melancholy, though, is almost noticeably absent, as are several of the main characters after the first fifty pages.
Only suggested for the hardcore fan of the game series, Caliban Cove pales in comparison to other zombie novels.
Score: 3

The story continues...
Caliban Cove...the story continues. It tells about what happens to Rebecca Chambers after the disaster at the masion lab. Excellent for Rebecca's fans...

Not as exciting as the other books.
I am a big Resident Evil fan and I have all of Perry's books. The 2nd book to me was very bland. The characters are well developed, but there was something missing in the plot. Seriously, zombies with guns? Although in the fourth game the 'zombies' (not corpse-like) are armed, the idea of picturing a rotting corpse with a machine gun is laughable, but boring.
Score: 1
