Instead of spending several pages talking about changes in society in the face of the plague (incineration as the only legal form of burial; the rise in belief in pentecostal religion) that are only tangentially related to the main story, Matheson should have spent more time on the "new world" that you laud so much. It is not until the very end of the novel that we discover anything about the vampiric society that has replaced human civilization, and then we are limited to the vague impressions of the imprisoned Neville.

Perhaps if your own reading comprehension was up to snuff you would be able to at least spell my name properly...but it must be hard for someone like you. --ISAAC No Sir, I got the sum of your feeble attempt to understand this story.

For a recent example of this, read "<a href="http://consumerist.com/368382/hp-replaces-missing-laptop-after-3-months" rel="nofollow">HP Replaces Missing Laptop After 3 Months</a>."
