really liked it


This book is definitely not a carbon copy of the movie. He did some experiments, he found a dog and there was a strange girl in his life … that is where any similarities to the movie ends. I was okay with this for I wanted to see where the book was taking me. Robert Neville, the main character wore me out in the first third of the book. I expected a stronger character. When he found purpose he was much more enjoyable.
I would have given the book a 3.5 but I decided to round it up for the effort. Not a bad read, just not a scorcher.
