Come out Neville! - By: Sue Lewendon, 19 Jul 2008 
I read this book in just a few hours & it was compelling right to the end. It's better than the film too, although it would've been nice for the pooch to survive & be Robert's companion.
As you probably know, it tells the story of the last man on Earth after a vampiric plague sweeps through the world. Robert Neville is alone & hell bent on survivng. There are a few twists & turns here too, one of them being in the form of Ruth, a woman that Robert sees wandering in daylight one afternoon. I won't give it away though!
This is truly an awesome story & well worth the read. Especiallly since it's only 160 pages long. Do yourself a favour & buy it now. If you enjoy this try Stir Of Echoes too, that too is better than the film. Sit back & take the phone off the hook & enjoy!
A great read - By: Mr. A. D. Cresswell, 30 May 2008 I thouroughly enjoyed this book & would recommend that you watch the film before reading the book so you can enjoy both as I did. As mentioned there a plenty of differences between film & book but in my opinion the ending in the book is far better, more haunting. My horror reading normallly revolves around Richard Laymon & Graham Masterton this was a refreshing detour of style. Buy, read, enjoy.
Great book - got me back to reading - By: Mr. Colin Robertson, 29 Apr 2008 I'm quite a fussy reader, I can give up on a book at any point for seemingly random reasons so when I find a book that I can't stop thinking about even when I'm not reading then I know it's a good un!
I don't think I can reallly do this book justice in a review...it just sucked me in & I couldn't stop reading it until it was finished...then I wanted to keep going!
Not the movie! Thank my Stars! - By: S. Pesante, 13 Apr 2008 I read this book when I was a teenager & after being invited to go see the film(which I review elsewhere) I decided to read it again before viewing the film.
Well it was as exciting now as then.A book that in an oblique way reminded me of "The Body Snatchers". An alllegory for our times, a disease that becomes an evolutionary change, where those that are immune are the new enemy.
I found this book well plotted & thought provoking, unlike the film.
Read it!Read it twice!
I am legendary! - By: J. Machen, 05 Apr 2008 The book & the film are TOTALLY different but they're both great.
Maybe watch the film first as you have longer to come to terms with the differences when reading the book.
