I read the book several times. I think it is a good read. I did not fell asleep on the Tarkovsky movie I just hit quit after looking at the road scene at the start for 20 minutes. You can try the George Clooney variant it is a bit better. The interesting part is that both movies have their own interpretation of the book, so it is like having 3 different stories.
