#0033A I Am Legend - Richard Matheson

I was so completely surprised. I Am Legend is absolutely nothing like the movie. I mean you have the same dry plot of some undead creature is out to kill the last human. That is it. That is the only similarity. I seriously could not put the book down. I'm not one for horror books, but this one wasn't really scary. I mean I do confess that in one part of the book Robert was getting chased and my phone rang and I jumped pretty violently, but that's it. This book caught me from the beginning and I knew I wouldn't be able to get any of my schooling done before I finished.

I really don't want to talk about it too much, but just know that the movie does not do this book justice. Even if the movie had the amazing Will Smith in it. This is one of the few books that after I finished it I just sat there in awe thinking about the book as a whole. This is the best vampire book out there. Forget Twilight. This is how vampires are suppose to be. 5 stars
