I Am Legend Reviews

A fun, and quick read about a survivor of the zombie apocalypse. A novella that is a must read for any zombie fan! He sits away in his house being taunted by (now zombie) neighbor while he slowly drinks himself to death. I think I had higher expectations considering I really liked the movie, but that's not even fair to say. The book and the movie were nothing alike!

I am all for making books into movies, and even very loosely basing a movie on a book. Though, in this case they should feel ashamed for having pasted the movie cover on the book claiming that this book was now a major motion picture... Aside from the main characters having the same name there is absolutely nothing alike.

If literature was food then this would be the starving persons feast, well for me it would be anyway because I devoured this and like all great books you enjoy it was over far too quickly (understandably, seeing as it's a novella) and yet if it went on any longer I don't think it would have been anywhere near the same.
There's an introduction by Stephen King (at least in my copy) with a line that I found to be very true "he will leave you wanting more" and if you watch the movie, do yourself a favour and read the book because in my opinion a movie could not do justice to this book especially with that ending.
