A review by taisynn
Resident Evil: Apocalypse by Keith R.A. DeCandido

3.0

This was a book of 279 pages I devoured over an afternoon. It’s the same humorous author as the first book, Resident Evil: Genesis. Many quotes are humorous and I found myself laughing at loud at the whit.

However, I do feel some discomfort with the racial stereotypes written so eagerly as to show L.J. as a black man from the hood as very over done. I know it was the character as he was portrayed, almost as a ‘Pimp,’ but I think it could have been toned down a lot. Thus, I’ve docked two stars; especially after thoughts from Jill considering him worse than a cockroach.

There’s just no need for the amount of stereotyping that needed to be done with the character.
