My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix

dark tense slow-paced

• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

This is a low 3 Star or upper 2 Star for me. Most of this didn't feel unique, rather showcasing what other horror movies have done (which feels like that is the point). But even then I would have liked a little more originality as a lot of what happened feels like I've seen/experienced it before. Also some of the dialogue and writing felt clunky. 

Over all if you want a book that is a campy horror movie this is it, I had a decent time reading it.
