Comprehension about my favorite book "Stalker".
I can talk a lot about different books, but my favorite one is "Stalker". I know a lot about the world of Chernobyl, and everything that is shown in this book is unreal, but still humanity was always keen in fantastic. There are a lot of these books. But all of them have something in common - it is about stalkers, or we can call them another way - hunters for artifacts. They use different ways, to receive their goal - to collect many artifacts, sell them and become rich. But everyone wants to be rich, so they also use weapons, to fight with each other and monsters, that are also living in the "Zone". If you want to know my opninon - every chapter of every book fills yourself with fear and interest of these cursed places. A have read a lot about this world and I also reccomend you to read it too.
