novellearts 's review for:

Roadside Picnic by Boris Strugatsky, Arkady Strugatsky
2.0
slow-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No

This book ultimately wasn't for me.

I think it had interesting elements in the story but I found the characters to be unlikeable and I was a bit bored with the plot. I felt like I was missing something within this story and it was a bit confusing being introduced to all of the terminology with little explanation. The story felt underdeveloped to me. I almost feel like I read a completely different book to everyone else.. I really wanted to love this like the majority seemed to.
