Title: Main story bad, backups worse.
Review: I never heard of Richard Matheson's work before seeing the Will Smith movie version of I Am Legend. I'm not proud of that knowing that he pretty well thought of but after reading, or at least trying to read this I'm not exactly sure why. The main story here while almost nothing like the movie also wasn't that good. The story could have been fleshed out and the "science" didn't make much sense. The ending was good but overall not very good in my opinion. Sadly the rest of the book contained short stories that I struggled to get through then finally relented and gave up. Cliché followed cliché which is odd for stories printed so long ago. Overall this is something that is better about than read.
Is the review positive or negative?
