The English edition is only 170 pages. Unfortunately, the edition I picked up failed to mention that its I Am Legend with a bunch of short stories, which ticked me off, as I was expecting more to the story.
I did the same thing today at work! I'm like on page 168, and thinking, 'how much longer can this go on?' And then, bam, there's the ending. So apparently half the book is other short stories.
Quote:
Neville is the one at the end who makes the connection that he is their boogeyman. In fact, the final line in the story is "I am legend," which is what Neville thinks as he realizes that he will be the nightmare story that people will pass on down for generations.
I kind of liked the ending. It had some bite (bad pun, bad pun). Have you see The Omega Man? Because that ending is also pretty quick -- there's a whole different emphasis in that movie, but Neville ends up dying in the end too.
The same writer did tha episode of The Twlight Zone with Shatner as the guy on the plane. So I'll think I'll check out his short stories.
