Reread after good while, yet again I find myself struggling to review a classic.The sense of isolation and frustration and desperation is quite palpable, particularly in the first section of the book, and I think this is the stronger section than the rather more action packed later parts. The idea t...
Finished this one in just one gray thursday and it was quite different then I had first expected. Had it not been picked as August read for the fantasy sci-fi group here at GR and I had read a few really great reviews I would just have skipped it cause I saw the film and I usually don't like reading...
Yet again, I've been breaking the rules. This time, it wasn't on purpose! But I went into reading I Am Legend knowing the ending, knowing the twist. Years ago, you see, my husband had wanted to talk about the book, probably when the most recent adaptation to movie form had come out, and I am well kn...
I read Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend back in – well, I think it was high school. Over the decades, I have seen at least two of the three movies based on this book, including the most recent movie starring Will Smith. Other than the movie adaptions, the only details I remembered about the book was t...

"I dub thee vampiris."This has got to be one of the most depressing books I've ever read. Even though I more or less knew what was about to happen in the end, it was still intense and mind-blowing. I Am Legend is an amazingly well written dark and painful story about loneliness, about being the last...
So this is the vampire outbreak that started the zombie outbreaks. The book: Matheson adapts a minimal, "economy of words" style to capture Neville's loneliness and desperation, and in turn, this limitation of unnecessary words makes the story precise and narrows the scope of the world in which th...
Injusticia ! Quien hizo la película debería sentir verguenza de haber cambiado el final original . Es mucho más entendible el final que se lee que el que se ve en pantalla.
I haven't watched the movie for one particular reason: there was a dog on the poster and only the thought that it might suffer and die (which I didn't actually know for a fact) was enough to avoid the movie. The same thing happened with The Road, because there was a child on the poster who might suf...
