Gravity Falls: Journal 3

Before I read it, I believed this journal was a kind of encyclopaedia of all the mysteries and unexplained events of Gravity Falls. However, it turned out to be something entirely different—an intriguing work of fiction, a captivating page-turner, and a perfect TV-series companion that everyone should have at hand while watching the adventures of Dipper and Mabel Pines and their friends during that one iconic summer. ★★★★★ Art This is a one-of-a-kind book! I’ve never come across anything like it. It is, quite literally, a diary—a journal written and designed with 100% authenticity. You’ll find hand-drawn illustrations and handwritten text sections, as if an explorer, researcher, or scientist documented all of their personal experiences while investigating the eerie town of Gravity Falls. Some pages convey pure emotion; others offer meticulous descriptions of the unknown. Altogether, it grips you and doesn’t let go until you reach the final page. Now I truly understand how Dipper felt when he found this journal—excited, curious, and full of wonder. Bravo! ★★★★☆ Text In addition to everything mentioned above, the text itself is deeply immersive and engaging. The book consists of two main parts (without spoiling the essence): one written by an unknown author, and another by Dipper, who finds the journal and continues it by chronologically recording his and Mabel’s adventures. The variety of fonts brilliantly reflects different personalities and emotional states: trembling handwriting, unstable and chaotic notes seemingly written by a mad scientist; Dipper’s neat, school-like typeface; and Mabel’s colorful, emotional, and expressive writing—almost as if she’s permanently fueled by a generous dose of sugar. For readers who enjoy deciphering codes and riddles, the journal contains puzzles and sections written in several ciphers. Personally, though, these felt more decorative than engaging: sitting with a sheet of paper and decoding letter by letter isn’t quite the experience I want from a book like this. I would have preferred overlays, often used in art books, that reveal the decrypted message beneath without breaking the sense of immersion. ★★★★★ Book Design Starting with the cover—designed to look like a real, well-worn journal—it feels authentic straight away, just like in the show. There are even intentionally distressed areas on the cover, suggesting damage and wear, which adds another layer of believability. Portrait orientation, size, weight, paper quality, font selection—everything is executed with an incredible level of care and love. The only downside is the dust jacket, which can easily wear out or get lost. Without it, the book title isn’t printed on the cover underneath. Still, since the cover perfectly replicates the journal from the show, this small flaw is easy to forgive. ★★★★★ Price I still can’t quite understand how such an incredible book can be sold for such a modest price. Perhaps it’s due to the large number of copies available on the market, but even so, it remains one of the best price-to-quality ratios among the books I’ve purchased in recent years—not to mention the overwhelming number of copies available on the pre-owned market. ★★★★★ Overall Impressions We all know that Gravity Falls is a masterpiece. What I truly regret is that no one ever told me how much more fascinating and immersive the show becomes when you watch it with this journal in hand. You read the first part, get acquainted with the main characters, and then return to the journal after each episode—as if you’re staying right beside them at the end of the day, listening as they write down everything that happened. I could almost smell the wood of the Mystery Shack and hear the evening crickets outside the window while imagining it all. In short, this journal is an absolute must-have if you’re a fan of the show—or if you have kids of the right age who are ready to watch it and join its worldwide fan community. The biggest drawback of this journal is that it’s Journal #3. Journals #1 and #2 exist only as single pages shown in the series—forever teasing your imagination and teaching your inner perfectionist to accept this universe as it is, while firmly believing that somewhere in parallel dimensions, Journals #1 and #2 are all-time bestsellers.

A very interesting and fun book. I have read this book twice and was not disappointed both of the times. It has a lot of gravity falls lore and very cool pictures.

If you're a gravity falls fan just buy it!!!

The kids love the show Gravity Falls and finding out that there was a journal 3 made their day. We first found a copy at the local library, but knew we needed to get our own copy for the kids. They love it. They actually are rewatching now and following along with the show. Opening to the book to the sections Mable and Dipper are reading in the show. So fun!

There's one thing that you really need to know about this book before ordering. And by all means, you should definitely order it if you or someone that you love is a fan of Gravity Falls. I watch the show with our Daughter, who also happens to be a diehard Bill Cipher fan. And she absolutely loves this book, it made her so happy to get it as a Christmas present. It's visually amazing, awesome illustrations, good colors. Just full of cool stuff that will appeal to any fan of the show. But, there's one catch..... A good portion of the book includes writing that's in cursive. Back in 2010, Common Core led to most states dropping requirements for students to learn writing in cursive. In the years that followed, about half of the states in America changed their tune. But it's entirely possible that you live in a state that doesn't require it to be taught in public schools. So if your child doesn't know how to read cursive, there's going to be parts of the book that they simply can't read. But even if they can, there are also parts of the book in which the writing is very small, or the graphics look almost pixelated and slightly fuzzy. Which still makes certain parts a little difficult to read. That said, should you still buy the book? 100% yes, because that doesn't really make a huge difference on whomever you are gifting it to. It's just something worth noting before anyone orders it. Our Daughter couldn't be happier, having received this as a present. We already had the Book of Bill, and this one is a welcome addition to her home library.

If you want to take an adventure thru Pine Falls then here's your ticket.

This is a lore accurate journal from the show. The illustration is great and the writing shows the authors (no spoilers in case someone hasn’t seen the reveal) personality the end section of the book has dipper and Mable’s own additions and feels like it was written by them Positives -good quality -good illustration -lore accurate -feels like a real journal Negatives -everything from the first authors section is in cursive and sometimes words are hard to read due to font size

Good quality, I just wish they do the 1st and 2nd journal, my kid loves this series. I would buy them in a heartbeat. It's going to be a Christmas gift, I already know my kid is going to love it! Is very accurate to the series.

My daughter absolutely loves this book. The pages are just like the ones in the show. It’s a really fun book and perfect for any fan of the show.

Goed voor old fans

Książka bardzo dobrze wykonana, stanowi idealne dopełnienie całego serialu. Jedyny minus to opakowanie bez zabezpieczenia folią. Polecam!

I recently got into the gravity fall fandom! So I want to own some books from the show! I went to my local book store Kinokuniya to search for them but they are all out of stocks. So I decided to buy from Amazon! And the books arrive earlier than expected! They told me EST- Thursday it will be delivered, but I got it on Monday instead!!! Everything about the book is perfect! Hardcover! Cool book cover with a blue print on it! Some blank page to add your own mystery adventure in it! No damage to the book at all! I watch the show while holding the book to compare! So fun! So many cool code to crack!
