Into the Pit by Scott Cawthon My rating: 3 of 5 stars Story 1: Dylan Cooper is such a standard name for a bully. Anyway, I liked the whole time travelling back into the 80s thing and how eerie the animatronic was in this story. 4/5 Story 2: The protagonist literally insulted her childhood best friend. How could she! Also, in general the whole beauty stuff and pretending to be someone you are not (not being individual) is so annoying and the characters also all felt shallow.

Issue 4: 2 stars Overall the whole teenage rebellion was cool and how the mother of the girl already told us indirectly how bad the father actually is.

I generally like when books show how they were made. I would recommend ...
