A troubled man leads a writer and a scientist into "The Zone", a mysterious area where the laws of physics no longer apply. All three journey towards "The Room", which supposedly has the power to fulfill the innermost wishes of anyone who enters therein.

Review of 'Roadside Picnic' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Didn't entirely understand this one. The language barrier doesn't help - although it's translated, the dialogue is not in English that flows very well (for me, at least). The Zone that the Stalkers enter does feel satisfyingly awful though. The characters aren't particularly likeable, mind.
