Aslında bu kitabı almayı çok düşünmüyordum ama karşıma alma fırsatı çıkınca, almaya karar verdim. 4 yıldız vermemin sebebi, hikayelerin çok kısa olmasıydı çünkü ben daha uzun ve maceralı olan hikayelerden hoşlanıyorum. Fakat kitabın çizgi roman olduğunu da unutmamak gerek :)
Kitapta kısa kısa bir sürü ''Acayip Ötesi Macera'' var:
- Dipper'ın Açıklanamayan Olaylar Rehberi #76: O Şey
- Mabel'ın Flört Rehberi
- Soos ile Tamir Et: Guguklu Saat
- Dipper'ın Açıklanamayan Olaylar Rehberi #23: Harika Amca Stan'in Dövmesi
- Mabel'ın Çıkartma Rehberi
- Soos ile Tamir Et: Golf Arabası
- Dipper'ın Açıklanamayan Olaylar Rehberi #54: Posta Kutusu
- Mabel'ın Moda Rehberi
- Esrarengiz Kasaba Halk Televizyonu
- Dipper'ın Açıklanamayan Olaylar Rehberi #42: Diş
- Mabel'ın Renk Rehberi
- Mabel'ın Hatıra Defteri
Benim favori hikayem ''Esrarengiz Kasaba Halk Televizyonu'' oldu.
Bütün bu hikayeler bana birer televizyon kanalı gibi göründü.
Benim düşüncelerim bu kadar, sıra sizde ;)

cute and a fun read for anyone familiar with the show, I don't think it'll really appeal to those who haven't watched it though, they really seem like more of inside jokes for the fans

Pretty much what it says on the title.

This is a collection of comic-style stories with the Gravity Falls gang. Some are obviously based on the "Gravity Falls Shorts" series and taken panel for panel but there is also new material. My favorite was the final story with the Pines Family (and Soos) going to the movies together wherein they get thrown out before their movie even starts - and Dipper comes up with a plan to get them back inside just after the previews/commercials end.

There are chapters focusing on Mabel, chapters focusing on the twins, chapters focusing on Soos, so there's a lot going on with all of the wacky Gravity Falls characters (also good was Fixin' It With Soos: Golf Cart, which made me laugh probably more than I should have at my age).

Good for any age but probably "specified" for tweens.

I don't know who this is for.
It is literally the animated shorts they did between seasons, but as a book instead of a cartoon. The medium doesn't translate that well because a lot of the jokes are to do with video editing. It's not even the storyboards to give a behind the scenes look.
I thought maybe it was made first, and they did the shorts based on this comic, but the comic came or a few years after the shorts.
If you haven't seen the show, it doesn't really give you a good grasp of the characters, and if you have them you'll recognise all the stories.
I guess it's for a casual viewer?

While trying to get my "Gravity Falls" fix--Why did there have to be only two seasons!?!?!--I stumbled across this little graphic novel. I was excited... until I started flipping through it and realized it was just a book version of the shorts I'd already watched. But I'd already ordered it from the library, and I wanted something quick and fun or my lunch break, so I read it and revisited these amusing little snapshots into classic Pines family weirdness.

Amo estos comics soy muy fan de Gravity Falls y volver a vivir algunos cortos de la serie en forma de comic es lo mas.
En este había muchas historias que, yo por lo menos, no había visto en la tele pero estoy casi seguro que son cortos que pasaban aveces antes de dar el programa.
Son una serie de misterios, mas cortos, que va resolviendo Dipper con su vídeo cámara, y "programas" que graban Mabel y Soos. Todos son muy divertidos, juro que me reí mas de una vez con cada historia.

I really loved this! It had a bunch of little stories that I've never read before or seen on TV (which is a nice change from the Cinestory comics). And of course this book was filled with fun shenanigans that made me laugh. Definitely going to be looking for more of these Shorts comics if there are any.

Слушали с сыном 10 лет в озвучке Кузнецова, смеялись оба.
Весело, без мерзких шуточек ниже плинтуса. Добрые и забавные истории про подростков.
Мультфильм и комикс сына не так впечатлил, а вот аудиокнига очень понравилась.
Прослушали: ",Большое свинство" , " Беги, Диппер, беги", "Сокровища Пиратов времени"

After enjoying the humor in another Gravity Falls comic, I picked this one up, expecting a similar experience. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find it merely rehashed shorts aired between seasons, presented in a frame-by-frame "comic book" format. As a reader, I found this approach disrespectful and lacking originality.

A hilarious compilation of comic "episodes" from the world of Gravity Falls. If you loved the show, I highly recommend checking this out. The artwork is just like what you'd see on the show, the humor is great, and it feels just like you're back in Gravity Falls.

Fun, but not new stuff

This collection of short stories was drawn from the DisneyXD 3 minute bumpers created to promote Gravity Falls. As such a few of them have strange pacing, a result of moving from animation to print. I enjoyed it and my kids moreso.

[my scary library]

This book just recycled the shorts I had already watched on YouTube, and even though I enjoyed them when I watched them, I didn't find the book format of them special. However, for someone who hasn't watched them, this can be fun, but I recommend watching the videos more.

[Doug Levandowski · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute and fun, but some of the gags clearly would have landed better if I'd watched them instead of read them.

This was better as a the shorts, but it was cute in a book form.

[Maria Figueredo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Um livro pra quem realmente é fã, já vi a série umas 700 vezes e sempre que acabo fico com abstinência, ler quadrinhos e ver senas que nunca vi me fez me sentir muito bem hahaha! Mas acho que poderiam ter feito uma história paralela, outro mistério que encontraram nos outros diários, o Dipper só estuda o diário 3 mesmo após achar os outros dois, acho que o mistério poderia ter sido do diário 1 que é pouco citado, não tem edição dele, se explorassem isso fariam uma baita trama DA HORA!
