It’s a classic but it was a little bit of a slower read for me! Was definitely frustrated with a lot of the characters at times. Like why aren’t we taking Reagan to a priest way sooner!! Chris girl the doctor isn’t gonna be able to help with this. But I’m happy I read it and I watched the movie immediately after which was fun. The book is definitely way better!

There's a reason why this is a classic and it showed by how easy it read and how compelling it was.

However, it very much is a product of its time and while I generally appreciate darker themes and shocking scenes in novels, some parts felt shocking just for the sake of shock. 

I'm glad I've read it at almost 30 and not at the first time I picked it up when I was 19.

I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting to. I am not a fan of The Exorcist movie, but I was recommended the audiobook multiple times so I finally gave it a try. It was great and the narration by the author was amazing. I love how much he fleshed out the characters before everything starts to go down hill— it made you really care about what was happening to them. The downsides were that I absolutely couldn’t stand the officer, and the ending was just a really underwhelming ending for a book that had been so enjoyable up until then.
