I Am Legend

Having understood the books difference from the movie beforehand, It still surprised me in the end. I'm not a big fan of the film and wasn't interested in the book until finding out what happens at the end of the source material. I started reading immediately after that discovery. (Thanks

In the middle, I felt unsure about how I'd feel about I Am Legend, where I figured I'd give the book 4 stars for its slower pace, but when I reached the turning point of the story, holy hell, what a wonderful conclusion. That moment gave me back the same type of feeling I got when reading The Stand. Character development is so subtle in this book, but it's beautiful when it's presented at its peak where we see character reflection.

Surprisingly, I think this story could have been shorter, but even with that, I think this is one of the best horror stories ever written.
