9. I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
I was NOT expecting what this book turned out to be. Kudos to Hollywood for taking a rather short text and turning it into a big budget blockbuster.
It was really... short. I turned the last page and began reading the first short story, hoping it was the book continuing. Alas, no. Interesting premis but poorly executed and so many oportunities missed to make a really great story! I guess the muses take us only so far sometimes but I wanted more... an more sound scientific theory. Did he go to bed with a high school science book under his pillow and then start writing the next day? It was an interseting idea and I wish there was more to it, but as it stands not one of my favorites.
