A review by coraline88
The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty

5.0

4.5 stars. The characters were definitely interesting and the plot was quite enjoyable. As for the writing, it was a lot better than I expected going into it. It's descriptive but not overly so, and is quite easy to follow. I didn't it find it too scary, however, because I have read and watched a lot of horror, but it was unsettling and rather atmospheric, which added to the demonic tone of the story. It did use a lot of religious terminology that I wasn't familiar with, and thus it was sometimes hard to grasp for me personally, but overall, quite an enjoyable read. Highly recommended for those who are horror fans or are just getting into horror!
