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.

I expected a biography, I ended up with a comedy. Not bad.
The first chapter looks like a fan-fiction written to celebrate someone's hero. The chapters about their case studies are fun. The last third is bordeline boring.
Only in the US a middle-class couple could invent themselves as demonologists, and make a living out of it. And how come every kid in the country seems to own a ouija board? Here is my favourite quote ever. A mother is complaining about her haunted house and wondering if her daughter's interest in the occult is to blame:
Ok, let's analyze it.
a) a teeneger plays the witch and the mother is fine with that. Kudos to mum.
b) mum wants to improve Meg's skills, so she buys a book about conjuring demons
c) does B&N sells that?!? The kid says it's a paperback with 75 different rituals to conjure 75 different demons. Do you really can buy a Conjuring for Dummies at your local bookstore?
Thruth his, everyone sees what one wants to see. If I'm a catholic and something strange happens, I will blame the devil with the horns. If I'm hindu I'll blame Shiva. If I'm a pastafarian, I will blame the carbo-hangover of the previous night.

Meg has always been interested in the occult - witchcraft, spells, that sort of thing. She has a small library, but none of the books were on conjuring. So last Christmas, I bought her one on conjuring demons as a present

Este libro debe tener 2 calificaciones y por eso la que le puse son 2 estrellas. Es como el "promedio".
Si lees el libro como un libro de terror con historias de terror. Se lleva 2.5 estrellas, hasta podría tener 3, si no es porque luego el autor interrumpe sus propias historias para solo hacer que el climax caiga. Pero en general las historias están cotorras.
Aunque hay una en particular que la verdad más que terror es casi comedia.
Pero fuera de eso el libro está entretenido.
Ahora si el libro lo lees como un libro "real". Se lleva -1 estrella. Me queda a deber. Porque es algo lleno de patrañas. Lleno de contradicciones a cada esquina. Y que pues él libro intenta ese misterio de que "todo lo que se dice aquí sucedió". Y pues yo por salud mental decidí verlo como algo como la bruja de blair, que sabes que es ficción, pero te dicen que es real.
Y ahora exorcismos para todos.

Se le mete un sucubus a una morra y por eso anda bien caliente todo el tiempo y quiere coger siempre.

Very informative, well done! Was nice to hear actual accounts of their history as well as cases throughout the years that inspired the movies. Can see how Hollywood really played it up quite a bit which in itself I understand but it is upsetting because it makes people believe more so that it’s a haul more so than real life events.
