Besides Bill blatantly lying to the reader (such as claiming that the book has no codes right after a page filled with codes), he manipulates Ford into believing that he can't trust anyone but him.

Pages apparently made from brain matter, a realistic human heart, and lots of blood. (And I do mean lots. Throughout the book, sometimes in large quantities.)

The book is glitchy and constantly changes due to Bill's chaotic nature and powers. This instability even affected the real world via advertising tie-ins -- a Twitter account where a park ranger found the book and died because of it, and black splatters around the book on displays in bookstores.

DO NOT READ if this is an issue because the entire book is framed as Bill talking to you through it including actively threatening the reader multiple times
