This book is amazing although very disconcerting. It captures the emotional parts and the action parts very well.
Much better than the film!

This book is a masterpiece. I read it in one day. Just couldn't put it down. Even my brother who hates reading read it. Much better than the film. The ending is excellent and really makes you think.
Very good

Generally I hate reading books that are then made into films, which in turn never follow the storyline and always end up being dissapointing. This time though, I read the book after watching the film, and I am very very impressed. Richard Matheson's writing skill is unique and original and although the book is short, there is so much packed into it, it'll keep you in suspense until the very last page. I cannot say a bad word about it.
I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
Amazing

To be honest, I just bought this because of the cheap price and all the fuss about the movie. But I got to hand it to Matheson, this book is absolutely fantastic. Once you start reading, you won't put it down till it's over. A hundred times better than the movie:)
It's a cheap book, and a quick read. You should not miss out on this!
Pure genuis!

Ok so I am one of "those" people who watches a film finds out it was originally a book and decides to read the book...
However the book was so infinatly better and more compelling, the story was far more believable, interesting and frightening. I'm not a big reader but this book I couldn't put down as soon as I read page one...
Deffinatly buy this, it isn't expensive and it isn't a hefty read. But what you do get it pure genuis!
A rare treat. Sci-fi that doesnt boggle with the science.

I first picked this book up about three years ago, on recomendation from a friend. For some reason i never quite got around to reading it. I finally made a conscious decission to do so when the film came out. Having had JRR tolkiens masterpiece ruined by Peter Jackson's interpretation, i was determined not to let the same thing happen again. I was blown away!
This a thrilling a nd tense account of a man who is alone in the world. Hunter by day, at night he becomes the hunted as he barricades himself in his home and drinks himself to oblivion. The books pitches the perfect tale of Horror, loathing, fear and un-ending loneliness. you're never quite sure if its the world thats gone mad or just the central character as he plods his way through his solitary existence and punishes himself for his percieved transgressions.
I usually read much meatier books and, subsequently, I whipped through this in just a few hours. From start to finnish this is an incredibly poignant tale that, in just 160 short pages, makes you believe in the central character and his battle with insanity.
Put simply this is a masterfull tale that is as pertinent today as it was on release in the 50's.
