Book Reviews of The Exorcist

Book Review: "The Exorcist" Book
Summary: 4 Stars

I had seen the film, I liked it very much. A horror masterpiece. But soomething in me always told me I wasn't sattisfied with the film, I wished to see more intense parts. Few weeks ago I came to know about the book, I dont know what came in my mind but I thought the book might have the whole story more in detail.. and I was right. The book unlike the film scared me even more... since its much more in detail, dont get me wrong.. the film is good, but the book is even better. It scared me a lot, and there were certain parts not mentioned in the film at all, just certain minor details. If you love horror novels, this is a book just for you. Dont miss it.

Summary of The Exorcist

When originally published in 1971, The Exorcist became not only a bestselling literary phenomenon, but one of the most frightening and controversial novels ever written. (When the author adapted his book to the screen two years later, it then became one of the most terrifying movies ever made.) Blatty fictionalized the true story of a child's demonic possession in the 1940s. The deceptively simple story focuses on Regan, the 11-year-old daughter of a movie actress residing in Washington, D.C.; the child apparently is possessed by an ancient demon. It's up to a small group of overwhelmed yet determined humans to somehow rescue Regan from this unspeakable fate. Purposefully raw and profane, this novel still has the extraordinary ability to literally shock us into forgetting that it is "just a story." The Exorcist remains a truly unforgettable reading experience. Blatty published a sequel, Legion, in 1983. --Stanley Wiater

The phenomenal bestseller that inspired the classic motion picture--newly re-released in a version you've never seen before!
