Rating: Summary: Better than the game Review: Having played the game MYST, I found the style and feel of the game very intriguing, but the actual play to be weak. When I picked up the book, I was expecting a bit of fluff written for third graders. I was pleasantly surprised. I found the story well-developed and engrossing while the style of the game had been maintained. A book for those with imagination. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: A Masterpiece of Imagination Review: Myst was magnificent, Riven was a thrill, but this was more than I expected. I never thought this book could take your imagination so far, I suggest you get a copy and link to a whole new world.
Rating: Summary: A book like no other Review: This book pulled a complex puzzle out of thin air, and presented you with half the peices. It later slid some into the puzzle, until it was put together.
Rating: Summary: It was a fantasy, But Christian adnevture. Review: Atrus lives with his grandmother, learning the ways of the rock. All of a sudden, his father comes out of nowhere to take him to D'ni to teach him the art or making ages. Atrus expiriments with the ages, but fails in his fathers eyes. He begins to realize that his father is a power crazy phyco maniac. He starts to plot against him to fix all of the greif stricken ages gone wrong, made by his father. It is father against son, good vs. evil and keeps you going untill the very end. Excellent read!! Love in Christ, Brodie ><>
Rating: Summary: This is the BEST! Review: I have read a lot af books, and I know this is one of the best. The Miller brothers create a vivid history of Atrus, who you see in the CD-ROM game. I have played the game, and this explains so much.
Rating: Summary: This is a REALLY good book. Review: Well, when my Mom got this for me, I thought, great. A book based on a computer game. This is going to be pathetic. I was soooooo wrong! The writing quality is good, and the story is GREAT! (like, just 2 notches below Tolkien) Buy this book!!!!
Rating: Summary: May be more D'ni to Cyan than we thought Review: Once again, the folks over at cyan have put out another surrealistic, balancing on the edge of reality book. Just as the D'ni made everything with the utmost quality, making things to last centuries, Cyan has done the same with this series of books. I personally, Loved the games, Own all the books, and to be certain, the games have great replay value, and the books - I'll never stop re-reading them. From one Book Fanatic to another, I highly recommend these books.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Plot Review: This book was ingeneously written. The plot was outstanding, and the ending suspenseful. It is the best book that I've ever read (fiction). I can't wait to read the second book.
Rating: Summary: Great book, Kept me on the edge of my seat all the way! Review: This book is terific. I, personaly, have never played the game, but it was a very good & interesting story over all. I can't wate to read the other books!
Rating: Summary: Any Myst Fan's Dream Review: Myst:The Book of Atrus is one of my favorite books I've ever read! This is indeed any Myst fan's dream. They really make you see exactly what is meant. The characters are the most memorable, most well-described I've ever read in a contemporary book. If Rand reads this, then you did a GREAT job!
