Rating:  Summary: Myst: The Book of Atrus Review: I loved it! I is an easy book that takes your imagination on a wild ride through space and time its self. Atrus reminds me of me. He is a smart fun-loveing little boy with anough advtureous tendenceys to eguip a large army.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent intro to the game Review: When I first played Myst, I got confused with the puzzles and never really got past the 3rd island you travel to. So I gave up on the game. Then Riven came out and RealMyst. Then one day I was walking through (a local store), and saw the entire novel set there. I figured, I loved the game, I wonder how the novels turned out. They're pretty awesome in fact. The way the Book of Atrus starts, I pictured it like a high-budget Hollywood film. I could imagine what all I was reading like it was in a movie.I suggest anyone who's ever been curious about the games and never bought them, to pick up this book before buying the new RealMyst game. It's a much better intro story to the games than the game was. It'll give you a in depth background and storyline to the games. This book answers pretty much why and how everything came to be how it was. Pick it up! Now! GO! lol
Rating:  Summary: this is one hell of a book Review: this book has been great fun if you love the story behind myst, get it it's wonderful
Rating:  Summary: Interesting story for an interesting game Review: I was impressed by the game of Myst and intruiged by the complex and detailed back-story it seemed to have. So, I bought the novels. This novel gives more detail in to the life of Atrus, whom you meet in the game. For those who like to get involved with characters, this book gives great insight into Atrus, his experiences, and his motivations.
Rating:  Summary: Myst, The Book of Atrus Review: This book, the first of a bunch of books (the other books are Myst, The Book of Ti'ana and Myst, The book of Dni) This book is the best I have ever read, and it makes you feel like you are in the story. It is the story that is based on the game. It is about mastering pieces of parchment that can lead you into other worlds. The boy, Atrus thought the stories his Grandmother told him were just legends, but then his father turns up who he has not seen in a while, and that is where his adventure starts
Rating:  Summary: Best Fantasty Novel EVER! Review: MYST: The book of Atrus is fantastic. If you want to know more about the story of MYST, and Atrus's history, it's a must read! If you don't, and you've never even played the game, it's still fantasic for fantasty readers! I'll share no secrets, only that you will learn Atrus's past from birth up, why Gehn is as mad as he is, how Gehn was trapped on RIVEN, plus the true writer of MYST- it wasn't Atrus! You'll learn how Atrus came to know what the Art truly was. A fantastic fantasty, well writen, and suspenseful! Get it wherever you can! A MUST READ!
Rating:  Summary: Don't Be Fooled It's Not a Game-Based Novel Review: I was surprised that this book was so good. I thought it might be loosely done since it was based on a game but I was wrong. Once you start this book you won't want to put it down!
Rating:  Summary: Great Book! Review: I'd recomend this book for any MYST fan...
Rating:  Summary: Interesting... Review: This was a good book, with a great intro. One of my favorite intros to a book ever! I'm not sure why, but I just like it. :) Starts off fantastic, settles into good for the rest of the ride. Worth a read if you're a myst fan.
Rating:  Summary: Fantastic--Even better than the game! Review: I just finished reading this book at 2 A.M. this morning. I came to Amazon hoping to find more books (and was not disappointed). I had been a fan of the Myst computer games for some time, and when my brother-in-law offered to let me borrow Myst: The Book of Atrus, I couldn't resist. The book is amazing! The story is intricately woven, and the details wonderful. With elements of adventure, fantasy, romance, and more, this book kept me awake for hours after I had finished reading it. I could not stop thinking about it. In a way, it was a lot like reading The Hobbit for the first time. If you like to be taken on a swooping adventure, whether or not you've played the games, I would recommend that you read this book.
