Into The Pit Five Nights At Freddy's- Fazbear Frights Series #1 by Scott Cawthon
Product Details
Web ID: 15415422A Book for FNAF Fans
I finally managed to pick up Fazbear Frights after watching so many Game Theory videos listening to MatPat chat about this series. I have loved the video games and lore since the original Five Nights at Freddy's came out (yeah, I'm an OG - it's been a fun and wild ride), so it was a natural fit to pick up this series. It took a while, but I managed to pick up a copy on my Kobo (FINALLY...). And then it took me a while to get into this book. I'm going to keep my review short and sweet, but will post all of my thoughts on my blog. This book was... not exactly a winner for me. Into the Pit - Oswald's story - was the best of the three. The start isn't the best, but once you get going it's pretty fun! The lore from the video games made me smile even if they aren't supposed to be directly connected. This story got about a 4/5 from me. Sarah's story was the middle book with the middle rating. The self esteem issues our new friend Sarah has made me sad and I really wish it wouldn't have been the main plot of the story. The animatronic and creepy nature of the story was SO COOL but was overpowered by the fat phobia and female self esteem issues. Seriously, so sad. 3/5 for story but downgraded to 2/5 for the harsh treatment of female beauty standards. Millie's story... was super lacking for me. It just didn't sit well with me and I was bored to tears. We should have gone out with a bang, but we didn't. 1/5. I just didn't enjoy the "how can we die" monologue over and over and over... It felt dull, but that's not my type of horror. And then the epilogue. This is an interesting one because, from my understanding, each book is going to have another piece of this story and keep continuing until the last book of the Fazbear Frights series. Super cool though, but honestly... I'm not going to binge all of these books in a row, so I'd bet some serious money (if I had any...) that I'm going to forget to go back and re-read all of the epilogues. Maybe I will... but I doubt it. Cool marketing technique though. It might get a few more people binging the books. Maybe. Overall... It's okay. Not the best, but still a pretty good start. I'm going to slowly work my way through this series since I'm a FNAF nerd, but I'm not in a real big rush. But I am impressed we're basically getting a Goosebumps/Fear Street anthology series from FNAF. I LOVED Goosebumps as a kid, so seeing an adult guilty pleasure of mine trying their own spin on the horror anthology? Super cool. I dig it. Two out of five stars.

Down the Rabbit Hole
The beginning of an unforgettable series that will definitely leave its mark on the Five Nights at Freddy's fandom, Into the Pit is a good starter for the series, however it does not live up to the quality and content other books in the series have. Into the Pit is a good opening that, while fun and enjoyable, somewhat seems to take itself too seriously for the plot it ultimately has. To Be Beautiful stands out as a boring, unapologetically stereotypical depiction of high school life that makes the reader question when the plot will actually pick up and get scary. Count the Ways tells its story in an interesting way that hasn't been seen repeated in the series, but ultimately lacks in compelling characters or a plot worth caring about.

Amazing Storytelling!
I love love loveee how you can understand the characters motives and how they're somewhat relatable but hate how the animatronics aren't explained and the dreaded cliffhanger, other than that I LOVED EVERYTHING.
