Down and dirty, Official Riven Solutions offers "just the facts." You won't find carefully worded hints here, just solutions, step-by-step descriptions, and maps of Islands of Riven and other Ages that you will discover on your journey. Since most of the excitement of Riven, as with Myst, comes from solving the puzzles and riddles on your own, you'll want to crack this one with caution if you wish to preserve some sense of discovery. But if you just want the answers to all of your questions at your fingertips, this book delivers.

 Too vital! You gotta have this book! November 5, 2001

Riven was a super challenge and I hate cheating. This book was so awesome because it gave you ONLY the help you wanted when(if) you get to the point that you get really stuck. It is well divided so you don't see clues/info that would give away something that you didn't want to know. These people should get hired to write solution books for all the top games!It keeps you from being tempted to cheat because it is so well written & laid out. A true asset to the game of Riven! Honest!!
Pretty good but lacking some crucial info June 13, 1999

I liked the pictures and the walkthrough and all the other things in the game, but in some real important places it "failed me". I couldn't understand how it meant to enter the number into the domes or the star fissure portal and had to figure it out myself.

I liked the format of the book, with different chapters that gave either subtle hints or full solutions. It says right at the beginning of a chapter what type of hints are in the chapter. The only chapter I was dissapointed in was the "Journal" walkthrough chapter. In the Myst Strategy Guide, it had headings over each section, so if you only wanted help on a certain puzzle, it was easy to get it. The Riven book doesn't have headings, so when you glance through, looking for the right place, you see the solutions to other puzzles you don't want help on. Other than this, it's a great book.

It's a complicated book and it forces you to follow a line of order and one of the advantages of this game is that you can make your story
