This reader is very thought provoking. The first book explores the possibilities and complexities of "creating" worlds. It helps me to believe in the truth of a creator.

Atrus looks at it differently that they are linking to worlds already created.
The second book is about Gehn's parents and the fall of the anciend civilization known as D'Ni. ...more

Yeah, the books aren't amazing technically, but the world, the concept of Linking Books and the impressive cast of characters will appeal to many people, regardless of whether they have played Myst or not (although they provide a lot of fleshing out of the Myst universe, and it certainly helps if you have played the games, which are some of the best video games in existence in my opinion).

I read the first book about the summer of 2005 and now I've got all three so I can finally finish. Liked the first one though.

I admit that this book is totally gay. But I loved the games, and I love this giant, giant tome of faggotry.
