Book Rating

William Peter Blatty created an iconic novel that focuses on Regan, the eleven-year-old daughter of a movie actress residing in Washington, D.C. A small group of overwhelmed yet determined individuals must rescue Regan from her unspeakable fate, and the drama that ensues is gripping and unfailingly terrifying.

Been years since I first read this book! Still scared the life out of me. A few times I've done a Joey and put it in the freezer. I keep expecting to find my 6 year old with a spinning head and vomitting green crap. I love the writing it's a true classic horror story.

I couldn't put it down, it took me less than a week to read. Great book! It is a biography written in story form from the perspective of the pastor's daughter. It's heartbreaking reading what this family endured for many years from a man trying to get pastor Nichols to give up as pastor and leave town. They stayed strong when anyone else in their position would have given up. There are also many twists and turns, the story never got dull. This is also a good book for people struggling with forgiveness. It takes a strong person to forgive after what they went through.

A great concept for a thriller that just didn't feel like it reached it's potential for me. I listened to the audiobook narrated by January LaVoy.

When Rachael's daughter is kidnapped not only does she have to pay the ransom but also kidnap another child thus continuing a chain that has been supposedly going on for a while.

Rachael rapidly goes from about to break down to kick ass, which maybe the situation caused but on the whole, the characters didn't work for me and I found myself bored and often disbelieving of their interactions. It has a decent pace but just a bit of a meh thriller.
