Title: Creepy and Fun
Review: What a fantastically bleak tale. I decided to read this after seeing previews for the movie. Of course, the book is always better than the movie, so why not read what all the hype is about before seeing Will Smith present it. Just from seeing previews, I could discern a number of differences between the movie and the book, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this great story.Robert Neville is a survivor, the last human among a world of plague-ridden vampires. You probably know the story already, so let me emphasize the mood. Matheson creates circumstances that are so believable and an atmosphere that is so gripping that I felt like I was surviving right along with Neville. As I watched Neville evolve in his situation, I wanted to cheer him on and encourage him not to give up. This book was so masterfully written, it's no wonder it inspired the likes of Stephen King.
