Hard to compare. They’re completely different in terms of plot, mood, style… everything, really. Roadside Picnic has the signature Strugatsky Bros dark comedy running through it, while Stalker really has no comedic elements whatsoever. I prefer the book, for what it’s worth. OTOH, I prefer the film Solaris to the Lem novel.
