Search - I Am Legend

I am huge sci-fi fan and enjoy short stories, too. The main story of this book was what the movie I am Legend was based on. Very Loosley based on. Usually, I like books better, but in this case, I would say that I liked the movie better. The story I am Legend ended in an odd way with no real resolution. It went from coherent to crazy near the last third of the story. As for the other short stories in the book, some were interesting and some were confusing. If you read this book, my suggestion is that if the story is still confusing a few pages in, move on to the next story, it will not get better.

I loved the movie so I decided to read the book. I had no idea it was written in 1954. It is not at all similar to the movie, which is a good thing. I enjoyed it. A great read if you like the zombie/vampire genre. This book contains a few other short stories by the author. I read two that were fairly good. I couldn't get through one other; it was just too weird.

Its a short story, which I was very suprised. Good read though, way different from the movie.

"I Am Legend" was an excellent short story. So excellent that it inspired two movies that I am aware of: "Omega Man" with Charlton Heston and the more recent movie with Will Smith. Unfortunately, this is a collection of eleven short stories and "I Am Legend" was the first and best one that I read. I stopped reading after the fourth story. I'm not saying that the other stories weren't good. They just didn't surprise me like this one.

Good book but the movie was better in my opinion. The end of the book had several horror stories which were pretty creepy.
