Suspension of disbelief is easier for some than others

Oh I agree, which is why I liked it so much, but it was still a little bit jarring when you're going along and really liking a story, and then the other part of your brain kicks in and goes "I'm sorry, I can't believe this, it's a bit too ridiculous." It only passes through my brain for an instant, but it almost kicks you out of the story. Now...I suspect that if I had read this...oh, 40 or 50 years ago, I probably wouldn't have had the same reaction, I think it's more a problem with modern learning than it is with the book itself.
When I read I Am Legend, I was just fine with the science in it, but I've noticed that I'm easier than many when it comes to convincing me to buy into something that doesn't really make sense. I wonder what that says about me?
probably that I'm gullible. But I don't feel that way, so who knows?

The scientific aspects always seemed secondary to me

For those of you who like the book but not the (recent) movie . . . .
