The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty

4.0

Okay I want to start out with saying I loved this book. I have been reading a lot of horror/thrillers and this may be the only one that freaked me out. I came into reading this only know that the little girl gets possessed (spoiler?). I was very surprised with the slow burn of the possession, the frankness used when describing what Reagan went through, and the terror that the mom had. I loved how scientific and medical it was and how exorcisms were seen as something nobody did. I went into thinking that this book would be full of religious ideas, and everyone would be on board. But that wasn’t the case. I loved it and I would suggest not reading it at night!
