The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Career of Ed and Lorraine Warren by Gerald Brittle
3.0
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.
