Title: reviewing the book, not the story
Review: Rather than repeat the good reviews on the story of "I am Legend" I am offering a review of the book itself. I am disappointed in the marketing ploy of this book, relying on the movie to sell the book. Nowhere on the cover, the back of the book or the inside flap does it state this is a compilation of short stories. It instead relies on the reader's interest in the movie with Will Smith to sell the book. In fact, the story itself used to sell the book is only 159 pages of the 312 page book. There are in fact 11 stories in this book. Not all of them great reads. I probably would have bought it anyway but I resent the obvious deception that this entire book was a novel of the one story, "I am Legend" and was hoping for much more. The story itself was good and well written. I will wait until the DVD is released to see the movie. I won't buy books again from TOR without researching further to find the truth about their packaging and what is actually inside.
Is the review positive or negative?
