A review by hollywouldread
The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty

3.0

I think my main issue is how disappointed I feel I am with the book. It certainly wasn’t scary and the overall style of writing just didn’t sit right with me. I found myself often bored, or feeling as if I was reading some academic paper that was looking into possessions vs. metal illnesses. Overall, it’s fine. It’s a good story.

William Peter Blatty also wrote the screenplay so I don’t feel bad saying I prefer the film.
