I am legend book vampires5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() One more thing, when I saw the movie I thought "wow, the infected people are kind of vampiric", but they never used the word vampire, rather calling them "dark-seekers". The movie is only very loosely based on the book. Rather than saying if you liked the movie you won't like the book, I'd rather say that if you liked the movie, you may also like the book, just don't expect it to be the same story. I pictured a Steve Buscemi in the book far more than a Will Smith. He was intelligent and given to learning, but he was also very dark, depressed and lonely. He was a normal guy just trying to survive in a world that didn't want or need him anymore. I liked that Neville wasn't some super-hero action star in the book. A lot of the questions raised by the movie were not answered, though many others were. Neville was definitely not the same man in the book that Will Smith portrayed in the movie. ![]() From the start I knew this book was not going to be the movie. Rather than reading it, I bought it on Audible and let somebody else read it to me. In fact, I decided to read the book because I was hoping for some clarification about some concepts and ideas that the movie hinted at but didn't explain. ![]() Like a lot of reviewers, I saw the movie before I ever heard of the book. ![]() Glenn brown website5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Glenn is familiar with the legislative and regulatory landscape in the US and the EU and assists clients with developing strategies to address new developments.

As you may recall, our previous stop took us to a small village in Iran, and today’s trip sees us heading off to the countryside again, this time in Mexico. After the last week on the blog was spent looking at a writer who may well pop up on next year’s International Booker Prize longlist, it’s time to get back to this year’s selection, with five more stops to make on our literary travels before the end of the journey. ![]() |
