I loved the book, it was a very fun fever dream. Do the sequels have that same sort of frenetic energy?

Also, I’m not sure if I ever actually saw the movie or just saw clips of the movie in parodies and what not, does the movie at all follow the insane beats of the book?

All I recall is the futuristic plastic world, none of the crazy stuff in the book, which is leading me to think that maybe I haven’t actually seen the movie.

    I’ll have to recap the book. The half man is in the movie. The brain I don’t remember in the book.

    If I remember correctly, they change the age in the movie as well.

      Yeah just looked at the title card, it sounds like the movie is going to be pretty different with 30-year-olds and the carousel, which isn’t in the book.

        It’s been 40 years since I’ve read the book. I remember the themes being similar.

          Cool, thanks. I was actually just mulling over how much I actually knew about Logan’s run when it was mentioned in some other thread and then I picked up the book and realized I had never read it and now I realize that I haven’t seen the movie either haha

            You’re inspiring me to read the book again. The movie is cheesy but I enjoyed it.

              I can’t imagine it could be a bad idea to revisit the novel if it’s been a while, it’s so non-stop exciting and wild that it’s difficult to put down.
