Fue interesante leer un formato de blog dentro de una narración de terror, el desarrollo difuso, confuso y tan lleno de recuerdos que podían o no ser ciertos, lo hacen una historia supremamente fresca.

I have complicated feelings about this one, 95% of which would require spoilers to explain.
The last third-ish has some issues for me, but overall it was a really fascinating autopsy of the exorcist genre? And the deep voyeuristic horror of it?

I don't know if I liked it or semi hated it. I feel so confused, a bit mislead and totally twisted up inside. Am I glad I read it YES, would I ever re-read it, no. It was a weird mix of story, blogger and memoir style. Would I follow that blog heck yeh ! I didn't like the story, it was a dull, heard it all before story though most of the book. (or I thought) It was the bloggers comments that held it up for me. The blog had me cross examining what I had seen and thought, what baggage I brought to the story. I never knew what was really happening, what was real ? It was there, wasn't it, did that happen, editing ?
Yes the author is master twister ! I didn't like the story but I couldn't quit it.
The last 30 pages scrunched me up, smacked me upside the head and pinched my backside with HOLY Spicy Spaghetti sauce moments of WHAT ? NO ? OMg's ?!?!?
I'm just glad I finished it with a slightly sane mind

I went into this one with inflated expectations based on a blurb I'd read from Stephen King talking about how terrifying this book was. Well...hmmm...it was definitely entertaining. It was definitely a thriller with some twists and turns and a modern spin on the ghost story, but I was expecting horrifying and instead just got a fast-paced thriller which was very good. Amazing? No. Good? Yes.
