Wonderful read for all ages!!

This is not the first book my son (now 14)has reccommended to me, but it is one of the best he has. Neither him nor I have played the game, but we both enjoyed the book SO MUCH!! We can't wait to read the book of Ti'ana. I loved the characters, the plot, the fantasy behind it!! It is a truly amazing book. At some points I found myself thinkng about it during the day, as if someone from my family were having Atrus' problems! After I finished, I thought about the book for a couple of days, and we discussed it thoroughly. I am buying several copies to give to my nieces and nephews for summer reading! If you haven't read it, go get a copy and read it, whether you are 13 or 50. All you need is to like fantasy and enjoy a good book.

Fantastic--Even better than the game!

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.

Interesting...

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.






Great Book!

I'd recomend this book for any MYST fan...


Fascinating, deeply captivating story.....

The Book of Atrus is the fascinating prequel to the exciting CD-ROM game called MYST. The book begins in the desert on earth with Atrus being raised by his grandmother Anna, after being abandoned by his father, Gehn, the last of the race of D'ni. Anna spends many years teaching Atrus the Art, the D'ni craft of linking to other worlds through the descriptive art of writing in special books. For the most part, Atrus thought these stories and teachings were only ancient legends of the D'ni. Then his time came to explore the magnificent underground realm of D'ni. When Atrus is fourteen years old, Gehn takes him from Anna to D'ni where Gehn teaches him more properly the Art, and even gives him books in which he may begin his own Ages. In time, however, Atrus realizes that his father does not understand the power of the Art. His fathers Ages are unstable and weak. He also sees the obsession of power in his father, wanting thousands of Ages to be "lord" over, regardless of how he does it. In this book, beauty and intrigue, mystery and betrayal, good and evil meet. The Book of Atrus is a tale of son against father; of truth versus evil, and of love and redemption. One will travel to wonderful new Ages and experience many awesome things. This story ends where the surrealistic world of MYST begins.
