I read the book on a whim in high school. I think it was one of those random Barnes and Nobles finds. The ending was an amazing horror twist, with Neville realizing he's the monster and the audience realizing that they've been rooting for the villain The whole time, and the acceptance of the transition to the new society.

The only adaptation I've seen was the Will Smith movie which was generic zombie movie nonsense.

Days Gone (the game) did a better job than the "I am legend" movie, imo. Approached a similar plot from a different angle.

I’m so upset they killed any sequel. Now we’ll never know what happens with O’Brien!

Were the zombies not killing any human in sight in the book?

They weren't zombies, they were vampires in the book. Like talking, civilized people.
