To preface this - I know about Gravity Falls and have watched (and enjoyed) a handful of episodes a few years ago with my now teenager son. I haven't watched enough to know the premise, character names, demons etc. Only knew that it was about funny paranormal stuff. And that Mabel was my favorite.
With that being said... When my teenage son asked for a book I immediately obliged without doing any research. Just purchased to capitalize on the fact that my teenage son wants to read something.
As soon as it arrived I was curious because the book cover looked a bit creepy so I ran to the reviews. Lots of.... opinions lol
However, I chose to sit and read this book with my son vs complain about it at surface level. We ended up cracking up at most pages and very much enjoyed it. A lot of it is really silly teenager humor, outrageous situations and some pop culture references.
Yeah, there's mention of demons, monsters, alternate realities and spells.... but it's not training your child to be an occultist. Not by any means, so please relax. Theres a whole 3 pages dedicated to a 2 billion year old Time Baby who just learned what a cow sounds like. It's silly, not scary.
The creepiest page to me was one where you have to read it in a mirror because it's backwards. But only because I hate perceiving myself.
As far as the literary value - appropriate reading level for teenagers. Has some decent "big words" which always help add to their vocabulary. The pages are formatted in a way that keeps the reading interesting and fun, vs bricks of paragraphs. Great funny graphics that made me personally laugh out loud many times.
If you are cool with occasional and very mild "occult" references, and can appreciate some silly humor or like watching the show... I definitely recommend this book. We really enjoyed it and spent good time together reading for fun.

A wickedly entertaining dive into Bill Cipher's twisted world. This cursed tome reveals sinister secrets, riddles, and manipulations. Beautifully illustrated, with dark humor and Easter eggs. A must-have for Gravity Falls fans, but beware: once you invite Bill's darkness, it may not be easily extinguished...

The one and only Bill Cipher has returned in one of the funniest and most cryptic, fan engaging books of the decade! Learn how to summon the one and only demon himself!! To all those claiming satanicness, be not afraid for Bill is here to save us from our mortal ties and show us a universe beyond human comprehension with a beautifully written and illustrated hard bound book!!

New and old combined together: older fans who witnessed the birth and death of the show real time engaging in deciphering codes and secret messages with new younger eyes who are seeing and living the episodes wee cherished with a fresh new look on it’s

As a Gravity Falls fan, this book was such a fun experience. The details on each page are exquisite, I could read it over and over again!

As a big fan of Gravity Falls, The Book of Bill is a fun addition to my collection. The book dives deeper into the mysterious and chaotic world of Bill Cipher, offering a lot of interesting tidbits, humor, and references from the show. The design and illustrations are spot-on, perfectly capturing the quirky, eerie vibe of the series. My only critique is that I wish it had a bit more new content—some sections feel like they’re repeating what we already know from the show. Still, it’s a great read for any fan who wants to explore more of Bill’s strange universe!

The Book arrived in straight-off-the-shelf condition, and was well designed (including the secret in the dust cover, like Journal 3).
The Book is funny and a bit dark (but it works and is to be expected with that dapper demonic triangle), and is full of new secrets and codes that I plan to crack when I have the time.
All in all, another well-written addition to Hirsch's weird and wonderful Gravity Falls!
