Logan's Run by George Clayton Johnson, William F. Nolan
3.0
TW: Murder, drugs
*****SPOILERS*****
About the book:It's the 23rd Century and at age 21... your life is over! Logan-6 has been trained to kill; born and bred from conception to be the best of the best. But his time is short and before his life ends he's got one final mission: Find and destroy Sanctuary, a fabled haven for those that chose to defy the system. But when Logan meets and falls in love with Jessica, he begins to question the very system he swore to protect and soon they're both running for their lives. When Last Day comes, will you lie down and die... or run!
Release Date: 1967
Genre: Sci-Fi
Pages: 147
Rating: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
What I Liked:
• I'm a sucker for 60s books that deal with a end of times world view
• Love the movie
• It's such an interesting story
What I Didn't Like:
• The writing style is muddy
• Too short to flash out characters to feel their desperation
• I still have questions
Overall Thoughts:
Why did they stop life at 21? It's never really described.
Why do they let people into the sanctuary with just a simple code? Seriously you could just torture someone for it.
Jessica was his sister before someone took over his body.
Trying to understand why it took 2 authors to write this 149 page novella.
Feels like gibberish at times.
One of the authors reads the book and I was confident for a while that it was Brent Jay Spiner reading the book.
Final Thoughts: I feel like I still have a lot of questions
