jayss 's review for:

The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty
3.0

2.5 rating

The purple prose felt like a knife stabbing me in the eye while I read. But besides that, it is a page-turner, pretty easy to read even if the writing is sparse and clotted. The dialogue is unrealistic, the characters are moronic, the ending fell flat. Also, the author seemed to aim at 'shocking' the audience rather than scaring it.
