A review by jkanz
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson

5.0

This book, and the idea of a world unlike ours but parallel in so many ways, came crashing down on me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. "Normalcy was a majority concept" As I came to this subtle thriller, I gained an understanding of our own world and the realities depicted through the eyes of Robert Neville. Matheson, with his descriptive prose, engaging flashbacks, and creative wordplay provides such a masterpiece. It would have been a pleasure to have read this before the movie spinoff, but I am appreciative of both. The direction of the movie I understand. Hollywood will act for its own benefit but I am appreciative of the tokenship they took in respecting elements of this masterpiece. Great read.
