geofrog 's review for:
The Exorcist
by William Peter Blatty
This book was fucked up. I really liked how the demon is portrayed in this novel, it was so sinister and insidious. The helplessness Chris felt as a mother is palpable. I could really feel how badly she wanted to save her daughter from the possession. This book made me appreciate the movie adaptation and the translation from book to movie. While I loved many parts of this novel, it did take a long time to get to the actual exorcism. This makes sense in the novel however, as Chris has to jump through many hoops before anyone believes her daughter’s need for an exorcism. This novel won’t be giving me nightmares but it sure was disturbing.
