We also see him reading Dracula to learn more. He also experiments with why they are affected by things like garlic, mirrors and stakes. He drinks heavily most nights as he tries to drown out the sounds of the creatures outside his house.ĭuring the day he goes around the area killing any of them he finds sleeping in houses and other areas. Throughout the book we see him lose his grip on sanity, yet as stated, he also becomes very educated in other ways.

He does a lot of research through the years and learns a lot about the virus and how it works. In the book Robert is just a normal guy who happens to be the “last man” on earth. The ending of the book was incredible and so well written and just so masterful. It was also an interesting take to have people turn into vampire type creatures due to a virus. I thought the way Neville loses his humanity, and the way he acts when he finally comes across another human was dark but understandable. Around the ¼ mark though, I became fully invested and found the story very compelling. I was skeptical about what I would think of this book going into it, and I will admit that it took me a few pages to start being more into it. Spoilers for both the book and the movie!
