i am legend monsters are actually vampires

Why do vampires hate garlic? Why does a stake through the heart kill them? Do crosses work against vampires who are Jewish or Muslim? His explanations of these well-known trappings of the vampire were as interesting in their revelation as they were in their research. I appreciated how the author was able to strip away the superstition that surrounds vampires and look at these fantastical creatures in a more logical and scientific light. While the ending wasn’t particularly satisfying in either incarnation, the plot development was superb.

In fact, I now prefer the original story, as its prose was almost poetic at times in its descriptions of the main character’s struggle to survive. While this latest adaptation didn’t seem to emphasize the “vampire-ness” of the creatures as much as its source material, many of the elements of the story were still present. The movie falters a bit at the end, maybe at the last 5 minutes, but it doesn't ruin the plot or acting put forth.After listening to this audiobook, it became abundantly clear why this story was adapted into a movie on three separate occasions (the most recent being the 2007 movie of the same name). Keeping the movie flowing are well placed flashbacks that show what happened to Robert's family and why he is there.

His nights, sleeping with a high-powered rifle and hoping that the mutants don't find him. His basement, a retro-fitted, high-tech lab to find a cure for the disease that has turned the population of the entire planet into mutant, zombie-like, hive mind, blood-thirsty monsters, and, for some reason, Robert is immune. Living in a deserted NY city, his acting is reminiscent of Tom Hanks in Cast Away, but instead of a volleyball, he has mannequins and a faithful German Shepard named Sam. Will Smith is the driving force of I Am Legend.

If I could sum this movie up in one sentence, it would be this: Go Will.
