I love sci fi and horror novels. I especially like books that were written in the 1800s and 1900s and see how well the works have survived the test of time.
I had only heard very good things about the novel I am Legend written in the 1950s by Richard Matheson
So imagine my surprise when I read the novel and very much disliked it. The ending was sudden with no firm answers, the main character seemed one dimensional and was not very well developed. I know I am in the minority on this since many consider it a classic but I did not enjoy it at all… and had to force myself to read it. in the hopes that it got better...which in my view it never did.
So… how about you. Have you recently read a book that has gotten rave reviews from others but turned you off?
