Scary... My second read... Simple and scary... Much better than the movie

I just spend 4 hours reading this novel and I don't even know why. 
I wanted something for Halloween and I wanted it to be a classic, so the exorcist sounded like a good choice. Now after 4 hours I don't like it. I didn't like it after just 1,5 hours but I told myself to just get though with it because I hate unfinished books, but shouldn't I spend my time better ? Better than crawling though a book I don't enjoy? It isn't too scary, far from it but it makes me uncomfortable and not in a good way. Not in a way Stephen King makes you uncomfortable, it's just a pain to read. So I'll stop now. 
Maybe I'll come back, maybe not.

Disturbing more than it is scary, and honestly? boring.
