From the comments here, I went out and picked up the book yesterday and read it through in a few hours. I really wish I hadn't now though. I was so excited to see the movie, but now I'm having serious doubts...
In my mind, it's not even the setting, or the explosions, or the vampires that bug me the most... It's the fact that it's Will Smith playing Robert Neville.
Don't get me wrong. I usually think Will Smith plays some decent characters in movies, but all throughout the book, even knowing that it would be Will Smith in the movie, I pictured a guy looking more like David Wenham (The blonde guy that "narrates" 300). I can't imagine seeing Will Smith with a big thick beard running crazily after "someone". Then again, I'm sure with this adaptation, he won't be chasing "someone" at all.
Aliens will probably fly in to save him or something stupid like that...
