It really is an amazing book. Interesting that you were exposed to it by the film on youtube, most people find out about the book as it was the inspiration for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. computer games of the 00's.
It's funny because a lot of people think those games are super jank and weird but the people who find out about the book through the game always end up explaining "look it's really a good book, I know the game it's based on is jank as hell but the book's really great!"
