People are going to disagree with what im about to say but im dissapointed in the book. Partially bcoz of my own stupidity tho. So the start was very good, i thought the dog bit was way better in the film, then the book went downhill when Ruth turned up. So im reading and i think im half way thru, a load of stuff happens and im thinking what on earth is going to happen next after a big incident lets say. So i read on, and its some random stuff about ping pong balls, so i think it will make sence soon. Turns out i'd forgotten the book contained lots of short stories. So if they were short stories then ive read the end of i am legend. That was it, thats what happened. I was dissapointed, and it may have had something to do with i thought i had about 150 pages left lol. Yes im THAT stupid.
Now im not being biased coz i like Will Smith but i prefer the film, ending and everything. You know how people say in the film it was good at the start, it went downhill and the ending was very quick, thats how i feel about the book.
Maybe whatever u do first book or film that is your favourite.
