really liked it

This was a heartbreaking, yet innovative story. You really felt for Neville, as he struggles with the new normal that he is forced to live in. Each and every time you feel like there is some hope for this character, it is is stripped from him, in ways that you wouldn't expect. And you join him, as he falls deeper into a depression and state of hopelessness. This isn't a long story, and I felt could have had some more detail in certain areas, but it was a solid character-driven book. I also really loved the depth of the scientific rationale, as it pertained to the vampires.

Lizz Have you read Stir of Echoes? That’s my fav Matheson though I loved I Am Legend. The best film adaptation was the Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price. Though Charlton Heston chewing the scenery in The Omega Man is kinda great too
