I was frankly expecting more from such an influential piece of scifi. Although the look at the effects of ostracism and loneliness on a person are intriguing, they are weakened by the disjointed method of storytelling. It is difficult to get a grasp of who Neville truly is. Additionally, the difference between the living and undead vampires is unclear at best. The decisions made toward the end by the infected make very little sense from a logical stand-point, and the "surprise" ending just does not feel very creative. Although the idea itself of a worldwide pandemic causing some sort of evolution/change in people is truly excellent, the execution simply is not. Recommended to fans of the worldwide pandemic genre to see where it all began and fans of tales of ostracism. All others may as well steer clear.
