About this listen
The basis for the film starring Academy Award nominee Will Smith, I Am Legend is a classic of horror and suspense.
In I Am Legend, a terrible plague has decimated the world, and those who were unfortunate enough to survive are transformed into bloodthirsty creatures of the night. Robert Neville is the last living man on earth. Every other man, woman, and child has become a vampire, and they are all hungry for Neville’s blood. By day, he is the hunter, stalking the sleeping undead through the abandoned ruins of civilization. By night, he barricades himself in his home and prays for the dawn. How long can one man survive in a world of vampires?
Richard Matheson’s chilling tale is a white-knuckle ride into a world of darkness and terror.
©1954, 1982 by Richard Matheson (P)2007 Blackstone Audio Inc.Critic Reviews
"The most clever and riveting vampire novel since Dracula." (Dean Koontz)
"I think the author who influenced me most as a writer was Richard Matheson. Books like I Am Legend were an inspiration to me." (Stephen King)

Very good, definitely worth a listen
The setting supplies a really interesting context for Robert's introspection. Some may find his thoughts uncomfortable but they reveal a lot about the character and lend sincerity. The text is a little dated but easily appreciated for the timeless themes it explores.
The discussion of human spirit and motivation is very engaging but the character of Robert did not evoke much emotion in me.
I can tell why this book had such an impact and I'd recommend it to any sci-fi fan.
As for the performance, I felt the narrator was quite good and gave Robert a lot of character.

Decent Story with some Weird Moments..
I was taken out of the story every time Robert had an inner monologue about his struggle with being horny and sexually tempted around certain female characters. It was even more weird when he had these thoughts around an UNCONSCIOUS woman…aside from that the voice work is great and the story is decent if a bit short. Very nice twist at the end that completely tilts the story on its head.

Sideshow Bob vs vampires
I know it was a different voice actor but it sounded like him. Meh story. Felt too melodramatic.

I liked the movie better (insert shame)
I am one of those people who had the movie too firmly in my brain to appreciate this. I wish I had tackled it with a clean slate. Enjoyed the style of the writing... but I think I liked the path that the movie took more than that of the book/ audiobook.

This genre has moved on a lot since the 1950s
Felt dated.Like the film it could do with a re write. Vampires, garlic and wooden stakes are no match for a zombie.

Amazing performance by Robertson Dean
Brilliant performance, really sucked me in and got me hooked. Weird choice of cover though, as the movie has little to do with the story told in the book.
