govmarley reviewed I Am Legend by Richard Matheson (SF Masterworks)
Review of 'I Am Legend' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Did you see the movie? If yes, forget what you watched and read this book. If no, don't watch the movie and instead read this book.
Different, and infinitely better, this book will take you on an emotional ride. Imagine you are the last uninfected human on earth. Vampires are everywhere. You spend your days scavenging around, taking what you can find from the remains the dead left behind. You spend your nights holed up in your house, listening to the infected attempting to get in. Imagine you find a friend, a companion. A sliver of hope. But life is unpredictable, and so is this book.
Read it, but have something happy to read immediately afterwards to cleanse your soul. I chose "Yes Please" by Amy Poehler, but you can choose whatever you would like, as long as it makes you happy.
