Book Reviews of I Am Legend

Book Review: More horror than sci-fi
Summary: 5 Stars

The book starts off as a concept book - "Last man alive, in a world of Vampires", with little of the action you would expect from such a premise. The story takes darker and darker turns, as Neville is driven into alcoholism, despair and obsession, and out the other side. There is a film script being bandied around at the moment that seems to make a joke out of the exceptionally powerful ending. A true classic.
