Summary: An Imaginative Story Of A Boy and His Power Hungry Father
Comment: Based on the hot selling computer games, Myst and Riven; This book is about a boy, named Atrus, who lives quite a quiet life with his mother until his father arrives to come take him away and to teach him the ways of D'ni. As days pass on, and Atrus gets more and more experienced in the olden ways, he soon learns of a plot where his father is mearly using him a pawn in his scheme to enslave millions of people and become like a god to them... I really enjoyed this book since it gave me some insight into how the two computer games tied together as well as giving me an in depth look at Atrus. If you like reading stories full of mystical worlds and fantastic details, you'll love Myst: The Book Of Atrus.

Summary: Great book, rich with details, but has a confusing begining.
Comment: If you enjoyed the richness of detail in the game Myst, then I urge you to read this book. The Book of Atrus has the same painstaking detail that Rand Miller used when designing Myst. However, despite the rich detail, the begining of the story is, frankly, uninteresting and boring. I almost gave up reading it by the end of the 10th page, but when I reached the middle of the book, I was genuinely glad I didn't. As the story begins with Atrus living with his grandmother in a small mountain crevice, the reader gets to "see" Atrus grow up rapidly. The story gets more interesting when his father, Gehn, appears takes him to the secret world of D'ni. There, Atrus learns The Art, a method of creating worlds using special books and inks. He then sees how evil his father truly is, and at that point, the story really gets exciting.
Another part that makes this book worth reading is the confrontation between Atrus and Gehn at the end. I wont give away anything else about the ending, but trust me when I say that the story is worth the investment of money and time if you ever want to make sense of the games Myst and Riven.

Summary: Myst: The Book of Atrus
Comment: Adventure/ PC Game Based
Ok, for the most part, this book was awesome. It gave some great creativity to the story and kept the plot going. Some more simple words may have helped the visual progress but for the most part, this book was easy to picture.
My best +'s for the book is how the authors described the sceneries of the worlds or as the call them, Ages. Also, the story was too fascinating to pass up! (About creating your own worlds by writing in a special, ancient D'Ni book. You know, become a god of your favorite place!) The combination of the two really brought out the true excitement of reading Myst. [read up on the summary]
The only - of the book was that the words were a little complicated to understand. More of a 15 and up age group I suppose. It's kinda hard to follow when you don't know where in the book it is trying to describe.
I loved how the end of the book ended! I think that it changed how you thought it would end a thousand times over(that's sarcasm FYI) before you finally knew what really happened. It really kept reading you until the book was over.
The best part is that it's based off of the PC game Myst! I know all you gamers out there aren't heavy readers but if you are a fan of Myst, this is the book for you! If you like the story behind the game, you'll really like the book!
Thanks for the time! Check out the summary here or whatever to get a better idea. It's a good adventure book to look into.
