Review of "Roadside Picnic (SF Collector's Edition)" on 'GoodReads'
3 stars
I didn't like any of the characters, but the rest of the book was OK, I suppose.
Paperback, 145 pages
Published Aug. 24, 2000 by Gollancz.
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.
I didn't like any of the characters, but the rest of the book was OK, I suppose.
Great concept of indifferent inscrutable alien encounter and struggling scrabbling border characters.
