Richard Matheson's I Am Legend is my 1954 book. I finished it today. It's a dystopian novel that reads like a Saturday afternoon matinee. Workmanlike prose marches the story along. The book aims to be a scary vampire tale and it succeeds in that respect, but character development is minimal.

Favorite quote:
"There were no psychiatrists left to murmur of groundless neuroses and auditory hallucinations. The last man in the world was irretrievably stuck with his delusions."
