Ratings and reviews

This book was fine. I liked 2/3 of the stories here, and I really do mean just "like." The first story, Into The Pit, was a mysterious and decently interesting story, and I definitely liked it the most out of the three stories. The second story, To Be Beautiful, has a good concept, but it's just boring. I like the story and the moral, and it could be great, but I just don't think it's fun to read. The third story, Out of Stock, was pretty forgettable for me. Although in my opinion it was the scariest. Overall, these three sets of stories are fine. One is interesting, one is boring, one is kinda scary. Do with that as you will.

The book altogether, was great. The story was thrilling and captivating, I would give 5 stars, but there's a few things i'd like to point out: The stories got pretty long and boring to read at some points, which wouldn't be a problem if the abnormally long suspense led to an abnormally shocking end. which didn't succeed, especially in "To Be Beautiful" It started feeling too long and it felt like a chore to read, it lasted for so long i already figured out how it would possibly end. This problem didn't happen in the other stories, atleast not nearly as bad as in "To Be Beautiful" Seriously, I wanted to like "To Be Beautiful" since i've heard a lot of good things about it, and it seemed cool, atleast in the start of the story. (Spoiler warning) The ending was cool too, but not thrilling enough to make up for the many many pages of Sarah just hanging out with "the beautifuls" and all her school drama.. It felt so monochromatic. Anyway, The other stories were amazing and thrilling!

I read the physical copy and needless to say its really good ive read 1 through 4 and I would definitely suggest them if you want a good book to read. But keep in mind that there is alot of gore and touchy subjects in most of the stories (throughout all the books) so if that makes you uncomfortable its probably not your thing. Overall definitely a fun entertaining fnaf themed horror book, definitely worth a shot if you haven't already.
