A girl does horrible things while being possessed.  The book gives a lot of perspective on science and religion.  Some scenes will live in my head and I wish I could charge them rent.

There’s an infamous scene where a child is forced to inflict a pretty upsetting act and it’s basically impossible to appropriately and accurately describe in trigger warnings. So, WARNING WARNING WARNING

Very similar to the movie, which isn't a bad thing. The antisemitism was ... gratuitous and unneeded. Other than that and a few other brief things I enjoyed this a lot.
