This is largely a well ordered compilation of interviews with Ed and Loraine Warren.
For me, the best parts were the detailed case studies of individual situations they’ve encountered. Along with them is their interpretation of what has happened in those particular cases. These were the most interesting parts of the book. They were also the ones that most convinced me of the Warren’s viewpoint and just plain creeped me out.
Interspersed throughout is Ed and Lorraine Warren’s detailed philosophy of the demonic, how people relate to it, how it infests the lives of individuals, and the various manners for warding against the demonic and opposing it. This is highly repetitive and is at times a wild hodgepodge of fundamentalist Catholicism and New Age concepts. It’s interesting for the first third of the book, but afterwards you’ve heard it all before and it just sort of drones on and on.

This book is exactly what it says it is. I found it completely entertaining and fascinating.

Do not go into this book thinking that they will provide a bunch of detail on their cases. This book is more of an in depth look at what they do and the realm of demonology. It kept me wanting to find out more but did make me more aware of being careful to live a positive life. I quite enjoyed this book.

To było trudne przejście dla mnie. Lektura kiepska, strachu brak, nuda, nuda, nuda. Styl, w którym napisana jest książka jest ciężko przyswajalny i nie wciąga mnie w opowieść oraz informacje, które mają być przekazane.
Daje pół gwiazdki więcej za niektóre fragmenty, które mnie zaciekawiły.

Scariest thing about this book was how long it took me to get through it
jedna z lepszych książek, zbierająca działania znanych demonologów
I found at times that the book was up repetitive but overall the book was original and an excellent read.
I don't necessarily believe in every case nor do I believe in the explanations. This book is scary and what scarier is these encounters had presumably happened to real people.
