The Book of Bill

[Quirky Cat]

Summary:

Anybody who thinks it’s easy to defeat a creature such as Bill is gravely mistaken. Bill Cipher is an enigma - one who has crafted many clever ways to leave behind pieces of himself, such as The Book of Bill.

You see - he had it all planned out. A way to make it back into the world, no matter how hard the Pines tried to stop him. Yes, they may have succeeded in casting him out, but there’s more to the story than people realize.

Review:

Hahahaha! Sorry, had to get that out of my system (if you know, you know). I only recently got hooked on Gravity Falls, but my timing was perfect because The Book of Bill dropped.

Before I dive into my review, I want to say that Alex Hirsch's marketing for The Book of Bill has been on point. Don't believe me? Check out all the reels about The Book of Bill in bookstores. It's amazing.

While the TV series is undoubtedly marketed toward children, The Book of Bill is darker and, therefore, aimed at an older audience (probably the audience that originally loved the series but has since grown a bit). The book's very "material" helps drive that point home.

Anyway, The Book of Bill is a fun read. It has lots of details and hidden messages throughout. It even has messages from some of our favorite characters (proving that it isn't 100% about Bill). In short, I loved it.
