I Am Legend by Richard Matheson


My rating: 1 of 5 stars
This was absolutely one of the weirdest books I've ever read.  I obviously had no idea what it was about when I started.  I really like Will Smith movies and had wanted to see him in this one.  So when I saw the book on the bargain rack at Barnes and Noble, I bought it. 

First of all [spoiler warning here:] it is about vampires!  What!  I thought it was supposed to be sci fi, like aliens had taken over the planet or something.  But, vampire?!!!

Next, I'm still not really sure how it ended.  After I decided to keep reading to find out what happened, I never really found out what happened. [Another spoiler:]  He takes these pills to kill himself before he is tortured by the vampires and then... Nothing.  The book changes to these short horror stories.  It was like watching the old Twilight Zone shows.  I kept reading because I thought surely it must tie back in somehow.  But, nope. 

This was one of those books that I finished and just thought, "What?!"

Definitely NOT a Good Read!
