Week 8, I am Legend
What up everyone, I just finished my book, I am Legend by Richard Matherson. I would first like to say that it was a very good book overall, and very short. I defiantly was mad at the way it ended because it wasn't at all like the movie and it ended completely depressing. The only thing about this book that was similar to the movie was the he was one of the last ones left and zombies are trying to kill him. Except the book depicts the zombies as vampires, and the vampire act a little different than what was portrayed in the book. You could almost call the movie a different name because it does not resemble the book at all, just the idea is basically the same. I would still recommend this book as it is very well written and a quick read. To see Neville evolve slowly, and see how he becomes who he is by the end of the book is quite interesting, and the flashbacks really help with the story. The flashbacks are there to help the reader understand who Robert Neville is, and how his life was before and during the eruption of the vampire disease. In the end, though, I didn't like how it ended because I felt like there was more I needed to read, and the story could have kept going. I still like it though, and it was fun to see how the book and the movie compared.

I absalutly loved that movie. did i ever tell you i met will Smith? It was in australlia, the Sydnie Opra house to be exact. I was leaving a play with my mom brother and my self and we went to a purse shop. lol not my choise but im glad my mom drug me in there. We were look at purses and He walked in. i didnt ever notic him at first cuz he was all decked out in a suit and a hat. Then he started talikg to his wife and then i herd it and i knew. i went over to him and siad sorry to bother you but ur my fac actor and we started to talk for about 5 min. It was a pretty cool experince. and how did you convince mrs marble to let you read this book?
ReplyDeleteI have seen that movie and read that book Josh. It was awesome and I know you will like it a lot if you like action and very dramatic movies. If I was Will Smith in the movie I could not live everyday like he does. since he is all alone he has no one to connect with, no one to love, and no one to watch his back in case a zombie tries to attack him and end the human race in his city. My favorite part of the movie is at the end when all the zombies are pouring into doctor robert's house and he and his two new friends must fight to defend their lives. overall the movie and book are very good and show what life would be like if a disease were to exist that infected the living people and hurt the human race.
