Book Reviews of I Am Legend
Book Review: If you read one vampire novel, ever, read this one.
Summary: 5 Stars
Many ppl will think of Richard Matheson along side of "What Dreams May Come" his more commercial successfull book made into a movie, but "I Am Legend" blows it away this is trully one of the best books ever written. Matheson writes Neville like he actually knows the loneliness of being the last man on the earth, i would have to say this book ranks up there with the Grandmasters, Heinlein, and Bester.Book Review: Gripping from page one...
Summary: 4 Stars
I started this and could not put it down...I had to know what happened in the end. Matheson is one hell of an author. I got into the main characters head and felt the isolation and frustration he felt. I only was disappointed when it was over. I wanted to keep up the wild ride...EXCELLENT.Book Review: over-rated, but not unworth reading
Summary: 3 Stars
I Am Legend was compelling enough that I finished it at a moderate pace, but it wasn't as great as many people think. The story line, though probably impressive in the 50s, is a little simple by today's standards. Of the short stories that followed, two were great, a few were ok/good, and the rest were pathetic. If you are a true lover of the horror genre then this is a classic that you probably don't want to overlook, but it's not the greatest
Book Review: It was Great!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this book after hearing that Stephen King liked it. It was incredible. Neville is such a great character, and you really feel his pain. He is no longer a normal average guy. Now he's the outsider, the feared one. When he is in a tight situation, this book makes your heart race.When it is over, you feel like you know Neville personally.Read this great book.Book Review: This book was cool
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was cool. It was just like a Night Of the Living Dead type movie but with vampires. the only thing i disliked about it were the short stories at the end. those i did not read but the novel itself was sweet!
