i am legend

On Friday I bought I am Legend by Richard Matheson for a friend, then read it on my tube journey back. It's really good. It's about how everyone in the world has turned into a vampire except this one guy and how he fights for survival all alone in the world. Obviously I read it too quickly, but I still got a vivid sense of the book. The emptiness, the dust, the feeling of disease. Oh god the pain! His wife and child...
I love the ending. It's perfect. Even though I was thinking back on it as I walked home today and got confused about something (re-read neccesary but have now given the book) but yes. Perfect ending.
