Book Reviews of I Am Legend
Book Review: cant wait
Summary: 5 Stars
great movie cant wait to read the book I was told it is 100x's betterBook Review: cult classic
Summary: 5 Stars
A cult classic that has been revitalized by the Will Smith movie.
The movie and book differ in several significant ways, but each still has at the core the concept of isolation of man, and overcoming a massive change in the world order.
The movie was decidedly more positive in the final outlook for "humans." The book has a darker undertone to it. I found both interesting, and enjoyable. Horror does not have to be thrust in your face, and this is a good example of that - not that it lacks in death or blood, but that is not the core of the story. One man's battle, against external forces, as well as against internal ones, comprise the essence of this well done story.
The book is a bit short, but complete in its narrative. The added short stories in this collection run from serious to comedic, but all have some supernatural or otherworldly aspect to them. I Am Legend is by far the superior story in this, but the others certainly well crafted stories.
Book Review: good original story
Summary: 3 Stars
Good original story but the title was misleading,it should have said The Legend and other short stories,The story kind of left me hanging, I kept flipping back and forth until I realized the story was over and a new short story was beginning. The movie was betterBook Review: sick ending
Summary: 3 Stars
This book was short and interesting, but the ending left me hanging. It reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock.Book Review: worth reading
Summary: 4 Stars
