The Book of Bill
Did you miss him? Admit it, you missed him.
The demon that terrorized Gravity Falls is back from the great beyond to finally tell his side of the story in The Book of Bill, written by none other than Bill Cipher himself.
Inside, Bill sheds light on his bizarre origins, his sinister effects on human history, the Pines family’s most embarrassing secrets, and the key to overthrowing the world (laid out in a handy step-by-step guide). This chaotic and beautifully illustrated tome contains baffling riddles, uncrackable ciphers, lost Journal 3 pages, ways to cheat death, the meaning of life, and a whole chapter on Silly Straws. But most importantly, The Book of Bill is deeply, deeply cursed.
Beware: This book travels to dimensions meant for older readers.
Alex Hirsch, #1 New York Times bestselling author, resuscitates this infamous villain and invites fans to a Bill’s eye view of the Gravity Falls universe. There are many who believe this book is too dangerous for human hands. But if you can’t resist, beware: Once you make a deal with Bill, it’s not so easily undone . . .

i enjoyed this book a very normal amount! i did NOT sign my name in it, and i did NOT offer my blood to an extradimensional demon who exists in a realm beyond human comprehension! the book of bill contains no codes, no suspicious transactions, and no tomfoolery of any kind. just a normal work of literature written by a normal, non-possessed guy! moxfpb yb ql yfii!

Honestly expected nothing less.

i love gravity falls

Un libro muy interesante si eres fan de Gravity Falls; en este libro se nos revela información muy importante sobre Bill; nos cuentan su pasado, y lo que sucedió después de que la serie concluyera; también, nos dan mucho más material para hacer teorías.

Absolutely unhinged and chaotic in the best possible way. How Alex Hirsch convinced Disney to publish half the freaky stuff in this book is beyond me but I’m so glad it exists. I will never get tired of Gravity Falls.

Gravity Falls was my favourite show as a kid, and it remains in my tops of all tops. Still would love a season 3 but this is pretty nice too 😭😭

Greatest book ever! Bill should rule the universe! What? I didn't just say that. I'm not possessed; YOU'RE POSSESSED!
Seriously though, this did not disappoint! Lots of new information about Bill and the Pines family, along with some intriguing things that make me almost certain that some kind of Gravity falls revival is on the way.

I, um. I don’t remember buying this. It kinda just...showed up the other day? Like, there was a knock on the door and then—there it was.
Now, okay. I know that sounds bad but, well, I like books! And something about this guy, Bill...he seems familiar. I figured it couldn’t hurt to take a peek. Right?
...
..
.
i was so wrong. my eyes have been bleeding off and on for 10 hours. i can no longer sleep, not without hearing him in my ear, in my mind. his laugh, his jeers...God, his voice is so grating. pleasant like nails on a chalkboard.
it all hurts. so....much...
...
..
.
But it's all Okay!! What's a little pain, really? LIFE is pain. If I'm not bleeding a little, am I really living?
It was so worth it. It was all for the sake of KNOWLEDGE and the magic of mystery!
I have learned so much from this book. About Life, the Universe, Reality, and cryptograms!!

hey so sobbed. i love gravity falls like yall let me be a cheesy for a moment but that show fully formed my personality and sense of humor i will always love this show so goddamn much. I ATE THIS UP it was so funny…. had me actually cackling out loud like girl calm down. the bits were so good alex hirsch ur so smart. everything about this was so fuckin cool i need bill to fr wipe my memory so i can read this again for the first time. that ending with all the entries i deadass cried. i know i always say “that’s family” this “this is family fr” that to so many fictional characters. BUT THE PINES FAMILY……….. THATS MY FUCKING FAMILY I DONT CARE. THEY RAISED ME I WAS RIGHT THERE WITH THEM THROUGH IT ALL. the moment i read “there’s someone who’s been wanting to say hello” and i saw the rainbow gel pen and blue ink I WAS DONE FOR. I WAS ON THE FLOOR. easily 5 stars no doubt in my mind (what’s left of it after reading this) huge honorable mention GAY BILL AND FORD WHATS GOING ONNNNN…. but my aim is getting better!!!!!!

Wow, so happy to be finally getting some new Gravity Falls content. Read this in a few hours and still so much more to unpack. There are codes and so much more interaction within the book that you’d expect from this series. Will reread, best Disney related book EVER. (Story more cohesive than Journal 3, approved 👍)

This book is a silly romp back into the world of Gravity Falls. Bill was such a compelling character, and getting to experience his humor all over again was a real treat.
This book is a little bit more angled to a teen audience than middle grade, so if you’re expecting child-friendliness, maybe take a flip through and make sure it’s right for your child.
Overall: fun, dark, and hilarious. Wholeheartedly recommend to gravity falls fans!!

This was the perfect book to get me out of this reading slump I’m in, because I love Gravity Falls so much. It was funny while also being super dark (much like the show), but has also grown with its audience in a way that Zelda has. So it was even a bit darker than the show which I loved.
It was beautifully illustrated and so well written, and I’ll take any bits of content Alex Hirsch gives us from this universe.

INCREIBLE AHH ahora me voy a volver a obsesionar con gravity falls y a leer todas las teorías falopas que me cruce

I am very normal about this book. I absolutely am happy with this purchase I’ve made. I have not made a better decision in my life. I sleep soundly every night and my nerves have never been better. I would rate this book higher if it were possible. I say all of this with pure SINCERITY and NOT out of fear. 👍
