Famously cryptic Russian existential SF classic, or possibly just three men wandering about on some waste ground for two and a half hours. A 'stalker' leads a writer and a scientist into a heavily guarded zone which contains a room that supposedly gives existence to the fondest desires of anyone entering it. They discuss philosophy. A lot.


Not quite as challengingly impenetrable as some of Tarkovsky's work, but still challengingly dense and subtle. Almost all the actual SF content is left to the imagination of the viewer; the film is primarily about discussions of virtue, faith, psychology, and many other abstract things. Mesmerising to watch, but quite hard work; there's a good chance it's every bit as good as everyone else says, but I'm just too thick to figure that out.

Going into this book I wasn't expecting much. I mean, how could a comedian write an intelligent non fiction book about romance? I know, I was that person that had a snap judgment on an author and I shouldn't have thought that.

This book was extremely interesting and the audiobook was HILARIOUS! I loved listening to Aziz Ansari read this book and describe the statistics that he gathered. The book was interesting and quite entertaining. He gathered a lot of information and was able to bring life into what could have been a dull psychology book.

Ultimately, if you're looking for an interesting and fun read, this is the book is for you. The statistics were never dull and it was fascinating to learn about other cultures and the differences between generations.

I honestly do not have anything bad to say about The Good Place and thoroughly enjoyed watching it over the Christmas holidays! Full of imagination and creativity. The story line is great and also explores psychology and philosophy, which I could really relate to as I have a strong interest in those subjects. The actors are great and watching this really made me think about my own actions and behaviours and how I can improve. What effect do my actions have on others, as well as myself and my future. I'm waiting for season 2 episode 2 for tomorrow! Weekly episodes ensure I have something to look forward to at the end of each week! Fabulous series, thoroughly enjoy it
