This topic is for those who want to discuss the book in progress. No Spoilers please!


Kirsten  (kmcripn) I hope to join in. Once I finish my current interlibrary loan, I will request it.


Cheryl | 1167 comments I got this book from inter-library loan a few days ago. It's very short and I read it in two days. Very action-centered. It's a little different from the film (no spoilers), but follows the basic premise.


Cheryl | 1167 comments Has anyone seen the film version of Logan's Run? If yes, what did you think of it? Any favorite scenes?

I love it, but it's cheesy as hell. The miniatures they use for the city at the beginning are my favorite. (I love movies that use models, especially if you can tell that they aren't real.)

Those models of the city remind me of the City of Tomorrow that you see on the People Mover at Disneyworld. Yes, the movie is cheesy but fun. I actually saw it in a movie theater when it first came out.


Sarah (sarahmott) | 463 comments Ha - it's one of those films I still love to watch. I love that Farrah Fawcett is in it too. It sort of reminds me of that show The Prisoner, which I definitely recommend!


Cheryl | 1167 comments My favorite scenes from the film are:

- Carousel
- Peter Ustinov as the old man with all the cats, living in the Congress building.


Sarah (sarahmott) | 463 comments Do you mean multiple-Oscar winning film, "Logan's Run?" Ha Ha I just looked it up on Wikipedia. Move over Revenant.

Sarah (sarahmott) | 463 comments Oops- it just won one. It's just barely an Oscar winner.

One is all it needs!

And it's for visual effects - including that cheesy miniature set of the city! I think we were easily impressed back then.


Cheryl | 1167 comments I did not know that Logan's Run is book 1 in a series. Here's a link to the Goodreads page:

Ok. I am about half way through the book and enjoying it so far. However, they are in the snow. Why are they there? Why are there other dudes there? So they are on the run, and end up under the sea. And then why are they in the snow? I am not following this part of the book very well.
