Book Reviews of I Am Legend

Book Review: 3.5 for the product, not the book
Summary: 3 Stars

"I Am Legend" is the riveting psychological thriller about someone who might be the last man on earth. Robert Neville is the only person he knows that is not infected with or dead from a epidemic that turns ordinary people into bloodthirsty monsters. The ultimate survivalist, Neville spends his days preparing for the nightly attacks by his former neighbors and others who not only want him dead; they want to drink his blood. Neville not only has the stress of fighting for his life, but he also must deal with the internal problems of living with loneliness with no end in sight. Are there others who were immune to the plague? Will he find them? Should he go in search of them? Richard Matheson delves deep into the mind of the ultimate outsider in this amazing work of fiction.

" I Am Legend" is just one of the stories in this multistory volume. The rest of the stories range from pointless three page stories that make you wonder why you bothered even opening the book to riveting short stories that could be episodes from "The Twilight Zone", which Matheson wrote tele-plays for. All told even though "I Am Legend" deserves a 5 star rating as a short novel, the some of the other stories drag this volume down to a 3.5.
