This is the full trilogy in one volume. Less smutty than I remember, and the prose is more carefully crafted than I expected. I think Logan's Run is the strongest of the three, and Logan's Search the weakest, but I like all three. It's not so common for me to reread sonething I read as a kid and still like it, so I'm pleased.
Mixed reading.Logan' Run the Movie was a poor cut down of the original story. There was so much more culture and areas that they had to cut out in making the movie. The book is much better. The book has time to delve into the history of why the world is like it is, and to show how the different people relate to it. Unlike the movie death is at 21 (three 7's) no 30, and it makes sense that Hollywood would increase the age as the public would have a hard time watching a movie about "adult" and sex...
I finished reading Logan's Run on 4/17/15.
Painful.
As expected the first novel in the trilogy went much further than the movie. Taking place on a global scale, instead of just one city, Logan is quick to reject the concept of sleep. Now, aiding a runner, Jessica, they set out on a sprint to Sanctuary. The story is fast paced and ruthless, they are barely able to stay one step ahead of their pursuers as they a tested to their limits. The author shows no remorse for making it difficult on his charas, pushing them into deadly situations after one a...
Because this is an omnibus I will refrain from making movie comparisons in this review. Though needless to say, if all you know of Logan's Run is the movie then you know nothing about it.Logan's Run: In the 23rd century every citizen is required to submit to sleep at the age of 21. If refuse, if you try to run, the Sandmen will find you. Logan is a Sandman. His job is to hunt and kill runners. At least it was until his 21st birthday. That was the day Logan Ran. His Goal: Sanctuary. To find Sanct...
Logan: A Trilogy consists of Logan’s Run, Logan’s World, and Logan’s Search. Logan’s Run was co-authored by William Nolan and George Johnson, the latter two were penned by William Nolan. If you are of my generation you probably remember the Logan’s Run movie and TV series. In the twelve page introduction to this trilogy, Nolan gives us a media history of Logan’s Run: he talks about writing it and his struggles trying to get it adapted as a motion picture and eventually a TV series. He actually w...
This is just a classic story that is thoroughly enjoyable. The first book in the trilogy is the special one, but I enjoyed how Logan’s story progressed.
Logan's RunLogan's run is an action adventure Sci-Fi that never lets up. It is impossible to read this book without comparing it to the movie. The latter is a favorite I've probably seen 15 or 20 times since I 1st saw it at the movies. The movie works and contains the major themes of the book. In his preface to the omnibus Logan: A Trilogy, the edition I am reading, Nolan states there are many layers to the novels, like peeling the layers of an onion. I've read many novels that are many layered
The first book was decent. It read like a Chuck Norris movie from start to finish. What I did like about the book was the absolute emotion-less delivery of it. The narration was completely unaffected by the events in the book and that added to the charming dullness of the atmosphere.The second book was just alright. The third was a joke.
Ground breaking in its time, now somewhat dated. Brilliant for when it was written and the essays are worth it alone.
If you're gonna judge a book by what it is and what it aspires to be, and not by some massive overarching Theory of Literature, the "Logan Trilogy" gets top marks for being smart, pulpy and original sci-fi action at a time when writers like Frederic Brown, Philip K Dick and Harlan Ellison were making the high-concept-meets-low-concept sci-fi dystopia trendy in the literary world. The prose is sharp, almost hard-boiled; it's clear that William F. Nolan is coming from the same pop-literary magazin...
I liked the world, the premise, and some of the writing for the first story (Logan's Run). The second story was nothing great, and the third was just silly. I wanted to understand references to Logan's Run, as I've heard of it before, but not read or seen it. But, the characters had no depth at all and no development, so I didn't really connect with it. The main character was thin, and the supporting characters were worse, caricatures at best. (Example from the second book: a woman is kidnapped,...
I read Logan's Run when iw was in my early teens, I always loved the story. I found a paperback issue of the trilogy in a bookstore in Berkeley CA. about 18 years ago but didn't buy it, and have been kicking myself since... finally I have the trilogy (albeit in digital format, which isn't quite the same) in the end it's the story I'm really interested in getting my teeth sunk into.
