I liked the computer games, but liked the books more. (

I can't wait to read these again; I owned all three books and loved them all, but they were destroyed in a basement flood. Now I've found them again and look forward to rediscovering them each. (

This was a well written book, especially for the scientifically minded - but it was just too depressing for me. Part of it was reading it last rather than first, I knew what was going to happen from the beginning, and so that dread was with me throughout the book. Very much a Tragedy (so, if you like those, don't let my low rating put you off). (

Basic Reason for Starting: I read Myst: The Book of Atrus a few years ago, when I still believed that all that was as popular/well-known as Myst then was necessarily of a decent quality and wanted to know the past that was alluded to ever since.
Basic Reason for Finishing: I managed to enjoy myself whilst reading.

Link To A World Of Wonder And Intrigue

The ages of Myst are worlds of adventure and awe; of mystery and beauty; of intrigue and betrayal. You have seen a glimpse of the picture, and know the history of Catherine and Atrus. Now, take a step further into the legend of Myst.

This AudioBook is your link to the story of Ti'ana -- known among humans as Anna -- the first woman from the outside world to enter the domain of the D'ni. She wanders into a place she never should have seen, and her intelligence and wisdom surprise some, and terrify others. When one young lord befriends her, then marries her, all layers of D'ni society are shaken -- but no one realizes just how deeply.

The Book of Ti'ana is a tale of friend versus friend; of virtue against evil; and of trust and betrayal. It is a story that many do not want told. For you will hear the unimaginable come to pass, and only one is left to carry on the legacy.

Myst: The Book of Atrus, by Robyn and Rand Miller, is also available from Random House AudioBooks.

Read by John Beach. Eric Conger, Earl Hammond, Janice Hoffmann, Timothy Jerome. John Littlefield, and Chris Phillips.

Myst: The Book of Ti'ana is available in hardcover from Hyperion.
