Negative Positive
Title: high hope , big disappointment
Review: With the upcoming release of the new movie starring Will Smith, I really wanted to read this book. I saw the Omega Man starring Charlton Heston and thought it was great. But I HATED this book.I know it was written in 1954. I know it is considered a classic of horror. But that is not the reason I read today. I read to be entertained. 50 years ago I am sure it was cutting edge, but today it is slow and borderline boring.The story itself only takes up 154 pages. The remainder of the book is filled up with other short stories by the author.If you want to know what was scary back in the 50's, good luck. If you are trying to pass the time with something that is exciting and fun to read, look elsewhere.
