about this author
Wil Wheaton's successful acting career began in 1986 with acclaimed roles in Stand By Me and Toy Soldiers. He continued to build his resume through his teen years as series regular ‘Wesley Crusher’ on Star Trek: The Next Generation and the film Toy Soldiers.

Wil currently splits his time between acting and writing. He has recently appeared as serial killer Floyd Hansen on Criminal Minds, comic book publisher Miles Sklar on NUMB3RS, and as the voice of Ted Kord, the Silver Age Blue Beetle, on Batman: The Brave and the Bold. He's published three acclaimed books: Just A Geek, Dancing Barefoot, and The Happiest Day...more

"I Am Legend itself actually deserves five stars. I dropped the book as a whole because the rest is a collection of short stories, and as always, not all of them are brilliant. " | |||||||||||
