Good book. Great sci-fi.

BEST BOOK EVER

Recommended by a friend. Not what I'd normally go for but I enjoyed it.

Great listen, I was about to start playing the STALKER games but heard they were based on this book so decided to give it a listen. Wonderful book and I loved the afterword by the author about it's release

It's a great listen

The book is a classic and the connection to the masterpiece but very different film is enriching in both directions. Robert Forester is a great actor and his talent really shines here.

Wow wow wow. I'm seriously impressed. I was listening to this along side reading the original Russian version and am pleasantly surprised how excellent the translation is and how wonderfully it's relayed by the narrator. I have listened to several audio books and none of the narrators come close to the artistry of this one. This little audio production is an absolute treasure. Thank you!!!

Whilst I liked the premise of the storyline I felt it didn't have a proper plot. Things happened and the characters just go along with it. We didn't explore much of the tech/rubbish the aliens left behind either. I felt more could've been done. Saying that I don't consider it a bad book. I feel the author was going for something else and it went over my head. Narration was good

More a look at 70s Russia than sci-fi. Are we sure it wasn’t sponsored by a cigarette company? The alcoholism, misogyny and wife beating took away from a mostly meh story.
