father Karras, you will be missedI went into this book completely blind, I had a very vague idea of the plot and I'm happy I didn't watch the movie before.
I found a bunch of well constructed characters, with believable fears and motivations, and also some secrets. I really liked that possessiZvn wasn't their first and only explanation.
I was expecting something more gory but now I'm glad it wasn't like that.
My favorite character was Karras, I love finding a great character.
Graphic: Vomit
Minor: Homophobia
