Dreams Come to Life: An AFK Book (Bendy #1) Kindle Edition

was a lil devil thingWho was brought to life on the silver screenUsed to make em chuckle now he makes em screamIt's Bendy in the Devil's SwingFlash back to the place that made the cartoons singWhere the cobwebs grow and the floorboards creakAnd it's all connected to an evil schemeIt's Bendy and the Ink MachineDreams do come trueI was deceived by Joey Drew, and now I'm coming after youWho's laughing now?You thought that you could cut me outBut now the ink is pouring downgreat book

When I heard this book was coming out, I made sure to read another book by this author to understand what her writing style and storytelling was like (it was called "Outcast" which was a well done and interesting story, though focusing on the high school aspects more than the actual interesting concept of the story was a bit tiring to get through at times).So when I finally picked up this book I was excited by the prospect of looking into what the version of Joey Drew Studios was like in it's heyday before crap hit the fan. It starts off with Daniel Lewek or Buddy as his friends call him and as he retells his story of how he got hired and worked for Joey Drew. He has the dream of becoming an artist and when Mr. Drew notices him the day he drops off a suit to his office, he's hired on the spot. Buddy at first is excited about the prospect, but being hired as a gofer/artist in training seems to have many downs before it gets better. We are introduced to various characters from the game before they became what they are and the contrast is very interesting as well as shocking with some characters not being quite what we would expect (pointing out Norman as well as even Tom for that matter).We also learn about some new characters such as Buddy's family who we get to learn the history of during the story (the growing bond between Buddy and his grandfather is so wonderful) as well as the ever sharp Dot who helps Buddy along the way, getting him acquainted with work but also in the growing mystery of the studio. But wow, I was really amazed with how much you get to learn about Joey Drew himself, and dang he's more dastardly then you think! (one scene which I will not spoil made me boil in anger at the audacity and selfishness! Grrrr on your Mr. Drew!)The only critique I have on this book is that it seemed some typos did escape into the printing of it, but for the most part did not bother me while I was reading. Another thing which I think was the publishing's mistake was there was one page that had some of the words faded out (ironically it was the "stained" in the combination of "ink-stained" which somehow fit the concept of the story).Overall, an amazing read! A definite must for anyone whose a fan of the game who wants to learn more about the background of the studio as well as the other characters through the eyes of a teen anyone can connect to and even grow to deeply care about (even though the horrifying realizations made throughout and even at the end will leave you possibly going, dear god what happens now?) I think people who haven't played the game would also love this book. I think it's one of those reads that keeps you guessing what happens next and keeps you reading as fast as you can until the very last page. I'm even more excited to learn that this is only book one! Whaaat?! More to come?! Heck yeah!!!

When I first saw a preview of the book I didn't know what to expect. Only this book goes into days before the studio fell and who were the first to go. This book gives a more detailed interaction between the characters and is a perfect companion novel for those who have bought the Employee Hand Book. It provides information about who worked at the studio besides the characters we were introduced. This book provides more depth of characters like Joey Drew and Sammy Lawrence as well as Thomas Connor and quite possibly Borris the wolf.I would recommend this book to audiences who enjoy Bendy and the Ink Machine and the unique plot line of background information. Previously stated inside of the studio handbook. Five stars deserved for giving us important information about the studio and the brilliant writing.

I got this on sale a couple days ago, one of my brother's favorite games, so he's gunna love this Christmas present!Arrived in perfect condition!

Kress’ writing here is really good, I love how she sets up the story and the inter workings of the main character. Only complaint is that there wasn’t much of an explanation at the end (although that might’ve slowed the book down) and the feminist overtones were annoying. Would much rather have female characters that are treated like any character rather than use them as a statement.

This book did not dissapoint. Though I didn't expect the passion, history, care, and lesson that was put into it. I got a lot more from it than what I was expecting and while true to the game it doesn't leave you feeling warm and fuzzy - but it did leave me excited that I chose to read it in the first place. A great read whether familiar with the game or not!

I ordered this book because my son lost his first book that he got from a book fair at school ,he love it love great book no problem with it at all he happy again!👍😀great gift for a 5th or 6th grader that like bendy !

Reading it to my 9 year old son. He loves Bendy

Era para regalar a mi hijo y le ha encantado. Está en inglés pero también les sirve para manejar este idioma. Totalmente recomendable. No trata del videojuego en sí, si no del estudio en el que realizan los dibujos.

Histoire en anglais c'est du texte pas dessin

Muchas gracias por el libro, soy una gran fan de Bendy(ademas colecciono cosas de el) y aunque el libro este en inglés lo entiendo totalmente. Esta en buenísimas condiciones y pareciera que el diablillo se saldría de la portada.
