Quote from RedYagerYeah its called Stalker. Its so weird how similar the book and film are to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, bearing in mind both we're released years prior. One thing I'm not sure I liked or not about the book, was that so much was left unexplained. Like the thing that can only be described as a sort of giant monstrous shadow that nearly kills them in the book when they're going through the zone on that weird vehicle. Nothing is explained of that 'thing' after that, the same goes for what I guessed to be 'Zombies', some explaining was done on the zombies but not enough to feed my curiosity. The part with the zombie was probably one of my favourite parts of the book, so creepy, I kept re-reading it.
hm, i don't remember the giant shadow... and by zombies you mean the people that just came from the zone? by far the most interesting part of the book was the final journey into the zone... for other reasons.
