I'M NOT CRYING! YOU'RE CRYING!!!
After several weeks of flipping through the Journal and rereading it, I think I can finally gather my thoughts enough to actually write something for this review.
To begin, I suppose that I should note the Journal is best enjoyed by people who have finished watching Gravity Falls. The first section - the Author's original notes - are enjoyable without any context, as well as Dipper and Mabel's additions that they make throughout the show's run, but after that, things kind of require the context of the show to be fully understood and appreciated.
The Journal is broken down into several sections:
- the Author's original notes
- Dipper and Mabel's (and occasionally Soos') additions to the Journal
- notes regarding events after the second half of season 2
- notes regarding the Author's travels in the multiverse
- an epilogue, of sorts, to the show's final episode
Hirsch had said on Twitter that originally, he'd wanted to publish the Journal with the invisible ink notes. But for some reason Disney keeps vastly underestimating the popularity of this series, and had told him they'd consider printing a second edition run with the invisible ink only if the Journal sold well.
Last I heard, book stores and Amazon were STILL needing to order more copies to meet with the demand for Journal 3.
Your move, Disney.
And who knows - after all of this, maybe we'll actually get those DVD releases, too.
Edit: 3/27/2018
IT'S HAPPENING!
They're doing a limited edition print of the Journal, with the invisible ink. And a monocle.
Bonus points if the monocle is a black light.

The more images I see from it, the more desperately I want this.
