Logan's World

De: William F. Nolan

Narrado por: Oliver Wyman

Doomsday plus 10 years - and Earth is a living horror.

The last battle burned the planet to a charred husk, and civilization is nothing more than a few scattered tribes...like the surviving corps of elite killers who served the old dictatorship....or the sadistic bands of motorcycle hoods, prowling the ruins for victims...or the slavers, mutants and madmen preying on those who hope to rebuild the future. Only a brave handful like Logan and his family, who are the hunted in a world of vicious predators, hope to save the strange and bloody land that is Logan's World.

Just OK

Book just kept going and going. Will read the 3rd to see how the series ends.

Narration at a Snail’s Pace

After the first book, the only reason I listened to this book, and going to listen to the next book is just to complete the story. I purchased the trilogy on sale, but wish I had listened to a sample first The narrator speaks at such a slow pace that it’s painful to listen. I normally listen to books at normal speed, but I had to listen to this one at 1.5 times speed just to make it bearable. The previous book 1.4 speed was bearable. I’m wondering if the third book will even be slower

Logan's World

This was leaps and bounds better then the original. This was an excellent story. While I felt the author was quick to jump from point-to-point-to-point with very little description. The concept of this world was intriguing and could hold so many more adventures. The problem is the author left too many gaps and not enough detail. I look forward to reading the third bood in the series, Logan's Search.

Logan's Run, reprised

This is book 3 of 3, which I'm reviewing as a set. I enjoyed the movie (and somewhat, the TV series), so I was drawn to the audiobook. I wouldn't consider Logan's run good writing, at all, but I found it entertaining, none-the-less. The characters are extremely shallow, the plot contrived, and there are serious flaws in the whole concept. Still, if you have good feelings about the movie, you'll find this series tolerable.

The first book in the series is the movie (with some differences). The second two books in the series continue the story. Book two is essentially a "return of Logan" that quickly breaks down into a haphazard search for his lost wife ending in a somewhat disappointing battle royal. Book three is an alternative reality 'cheat' to put a different twist on the first book.

The performance is not good. The reader talks very slow which tends to sap the energy out of the story. However, I found that my iPod allows me to increase the speed (x2) which made it very comfortable with minimal distortion in only a few spots. I would totally recommend you do the same. I find it hard to beleive that the producers couldn't do this for us!

All-in-all, if you are listening to the series for the sake of nostalgia, then you'll probably have a good time.

good old classic

loved every chapter, almost reads like a script for a great action movie, I wish there more original books like this one, thank God for Peter Hamilton!
