This book should actually be titled 'I Am Legend & Other Stories'. As another reviewer has pointed out, I Am Legend only comprises the first 160 pages, and then you get a selection of short stories. NOWHERE on the book does it say anything about this whatsoever, and the contents page is laid out as if the stories are just chapters in a fullsize novel. This caused me the following problem - when I got to the end of I Am Legend, I had no idea I was reading the conclusion, and so I read on at normal pace expecting the story to continue in a following chapter. I then started reading the first of the stories thinking that the narrative had jumped back in time to a fairground with some strange characters doing odd things.....Okay, I thought, it'll become clear who this is and what's going on. I then read the next short story, again wondering what was going on and thinking it would all become clear why this was here. I was half way through the THIRD short story when it started to dawn on me that 'I Am Legend' had actually ended and I was now reading a separate story.
This was extremely disappointing, because I was enjoying I Am Legend so much only for it to end without me even realizing it - so I just ended up annoyed. If you buy this book, just be aware that you're getting a longish short story and a selection of other short stories. There should be laws against this kind of thing - it should fall under the trade descriptions act or something, but apparently this law doesn't apply to books.
I'm giving one star not for the quality of I Am Legend, but for the rip off job perpetrated by the publishers.
