- Adaptation Displacement: At least outside of the former Eastern Block, the film and the game series are more well known than the novel. Popularity of the book is improving as the original novel began replacing the mangled release that the Soviet Union allowed in the first publication.
- Funny Moments: Some scientists decided to experiment with a corpse's parts, so they amputate one of the hands. They come back later to find it reanimated and is flipping them off. And it flips them off whenever it knows they're around.
- Heartwarming Moments: HAPPINESS FOR EVERYBODY, FREE, AND LET NO ONE BE LEFT BEHIND!
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Reading this book after playing the video game leads to a lot of this, but the most obvious is when one Stalker is mocked for bringing a gun into the zone—what is there to shoot?
