Title: Now I Know Why it's a Classic
Review: I decided to read this book because it's a classic in the genre, it basically gave form to the modern zombie. Although the word vampire is used in this book, and aspects of vampire lore (garlic, crosses, etc..), the behavior of the "afflicted" is really what later characterizes the zombie.The author's writing is superb, he creates great vivid imagery and you really get inside the mind of the main character, Robert Neville. Since I felt I knew the character so well I found it hard to put down the book. How can he survive alone in a world where everyone else seems to be infected and wanting eat his flesh and drink his blood? How long can he stay boarded up in his house while the "vampires" try to break in night after night?When you have finished the book you will understand the meaning of the title, and the real meaning of the book. For fans of horror, zombies, etc... it's a definite must. If not just for its historical value in the genre.
