Thanks for posting that, I had just finished reading the book after seeing the movie, both of which I enjoyed for different reasons.

Did anyone see 28 days later by danny boyle?

Same story, 100 times better movie. I guess holywood just needed an american version with a crappy famous actor. To bad it sucks.

I saw the sequel 28 Weeks Later (although I heard the first one was better), definitely some parallels but I Am Legend was much better, even though it was too short. Really when the movie ended, this should have been a midway point. The second half should of been about their escape from New York.
