Not really. Since you've already seen it, I can tell you what was different. First of all, Neville was the only human survivor period. People actually mutated into vampires based on the virus that the gov't accidently released. Some of the vampires had discovered a medicine though that allowed them to be somewhat human, like living in daylight, and not getting sick off of eating something other than blood. The dog was actually a stray that kept trying to survive and he kept trying to catch, but then one day, it disappeared, and he went and found it. It had finally been bitten, so was suffering a slow and debilitating death. There was no community unaffected. Basically, the woman he found, told him to run, and told him about the creatures that were taking the pills to stop total vampirism. He wouldn't leave though, and he was eventually bombarded in his home and taken prisoner. The "new" humans, decided he had to die, because he was the different one now..and his last claim to fame...was that, "I am legend." based on him being the only left of his kind...and then he died. The original legend was that of the vampires..and showed how the roles reversed. Don't get me wrong, the book was good, but I still liked the movie version better because of the hope it gave mankind. The only part of the movie I didn't like so well, was that it didn't allude enough to them being vampires. A lot of people were like..what the heck are they supposed to be? I just knew because of the book, plus in the book, he grew a LOT of garlic. I don’t recommend reading the book. Not really. Since you’ve already seen it, I can tell you what was different.
