Summary: Good storyline, a little dry at times though
Review: A very interesting continuation of the myst storyline. It was interesting to discover how and where the previous myst characters ended up. The beginning of the book is slow to get started (about the first 1/3 of the book). The first time I started reading it, I didn't finish due to the boring beginning. After that, however, it picks up. The style of book is quite similare to the previous books, and is filled with beauty, awe and mystery. As compared to the previous books, it is not as good, but good enough. I give it four stars.

Summary: The Superior Surrealistic Adventure
Review: I have read all of the books (and completed all of the computer games) and this is by far my favourite! Being the last book of the trilogy, I was surprised by my choice. Atrus' character is developed further in his adulthood and picks up where The Book of Atrus left off. His choices reflect his attempts to take the moral road, but his actions sometimes fall short. This novel adds more humanity and conflict to the previous works through a more political perspective. Well done.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I have read all three books, and finished both games, and while this wasn't the best of the books, I thought it was WONDERFUL! I never expected what happened... what the big flaw of Tehranee was. I did wonder about how the boats moved, and how the maze worked, and what Hadre meant by "Do I see you?" when he first met Atrus and the others, but I never realized... I loved how little by little things like that were explained. I loved the beautiful descriptions of the places and things in Tehranee, and I also loved the characters. I thought this book was wonderful and well written. I don't, however, completly understand the ending. How were the D'ni and the Tehranee related? And did Eedrah stay in Tehranee, or come with the D'ni? But all in all, I loved this book, and I think that the MYST novels are some of the best books I have ever read!

Summary: Great book.
Review: I read this book at a very young age, probably around eleven or twelve, and it has stuck with me ever since. I've probably read it about twice. The hardcover edition is amazing, with fully designed pages and everything, it really helps the enviroment of MYST sink in. Summaries of what happens in this books are in other reviews, so I wont bother with that here.Out of all the other MYST books, I always thought that this one was a best one... But it is unlike the other two in subject matter and basic concepts. At it's heart is a "what price will you pay for perfection? and would you throw it away if you had to?" sort of story that might be a little heavy handed... But if you enjoy the videogames a lot (and this was before Riven) then you'll love this one. Locations and things described in this book have stuck with me for the last six years.

Summary: Beautiful book, even if not a Myst fan
Review: Not usually a fan of video games, I was at first reluctant to read this book. However, I'm glad I did. It is a beautiful story, involving moving themes and wonderful insites into civil rights issues. Both well written and well paced, the book ranks as one of the best I've ever read, along with Tehanu (Ursula LeGuin) and The Time Traveller's Wife (Audrey Niffenger). It shows a stroke of brilliance not demonstrated in either of the other two books before it, so if you could not stomache the second (as I couldn't), still read this one.

Summary: Wow!!
Review: This book is a good book to add to your Myst collection. But it wasn't as good as the other two. It seemed like they rushed to finish it throughout the second half of the book. If you haven't read Myst: The book of Tiana or Myst: The book of Atrus, I recomend you read them first.

Summary: Myst: The Book of D'ni great book or waste of time?
Review: This book is definitely a well written and very descriptive one however after getting over half way into the book I wanted to call it quits. This book is time-consuming and tedious I wouldn't recommend it to people that want to just cruise along quickly through a book. If you do choose to read this book I propose this to you that you are a person that pays attention extremely strong to every last insignificant facet of the book. Even though the worlds are well described and very comprehensive they are somewhat exhaustive in the level of detail and lack of a good story line. Yes there is of course the dark evil twist to the story, but still it is my personal opinion that unless you are completely enthralled in all of the Myst related paraphernalia and have lots of vacant time to burn then yeah go ahead read the book. Best of luck to you... hope you enjoy.
