This book was both haunting and disturbing. Surely one of the scariest books ever written.

Creo que el que ya conociera un poco la historia provoco que no hubiera muchas sorpresas para mi.
Tuvo sus momentos escalofriantes pero no tantos como me hubiera gustado.

After a slew of disappointing audiobooks, this was a real palate cleanser; a true classic that has held up over time.

Comments: To be honest, I expected much more from the book. The technical aspect of the writing, specially, I found atrocious.

There's about a hundred pages in the middle of this book that were really interesting.

I watched the film before reading this (well technically I listened to the audiobook). Typically, the book was better. I appreciate how Blatty took his time writing and narrating. It became a quick favorite and I want to actually read it.

Este libro es demasiado hermoso, tenía este libro en la estantería por mucho tiempo y la verdad tenía miedo de leerlo, pero lo amé desde el principio, la narración es ligera y el punto de vista de cada personaje me permitió comprender la historia mucho mejor.
No sé cómo explicar todo lo que este libro me ha hecho sentir. El epílogo fue demasiado, derramé algunas lágrimas.
Simplemente maravilloso.
