I think that this is a good book, as long as you are not prejudiced about it. But I also think the author didn’t intend a good moral or something, he just wanted to read a scary story. I think the theme of this book is that there can’t be good without evil. She also has a secretary, Sharon, whom she really likes. While she doesn’t like Karl for being to cool, she likes Willie. She has a married couple as housekeepers, Karl en Willie. The main character in the story is her mother, Chris McNeil. She becomes crazy, first being aggressive and then doing all kinds of weird stuff like grunting gibberish and levitating above her head. In the beginning of the story she’s a nice child but when the demon possesses her she changes. The possessed child is Regan, a twelve year old girl. Chris is a rich woman who owns two houses, and has servants in the house.Īs I said in “My own opinion” the construction is chronological and easy to understand. The Exorcist plays in Washington D.C., modern time. The demon takes possession of father Karras and he kills He shouts to the demon inside Regan: 'take me, leave One day whenįather Karras returns from his nap he finds Father Merrin dead on Father Merrin has to do most of the work. He gets approval from the church to assist with an exorcism None of them can tell what's wrong with Regan. The characters seem not very nice either, and they sure didn’t affect me in any way.Ĭhris McNeil, a famous actress, has a twelve year old daughter, The characters in this book are not really believable, especially father Karras, who thinks that everything that has happened before isn’t a miracle anymore. A (english speaking) child could read this book.
The words are simple and easy to understand. Most of the book consists of dialogues, which gives the reader the impression he’s closer to the story. The writer uses a he-perspective, which makes the story easy to read. The construction is fairly simple, no time shifts or weird transitions. You always know what’s coming, so the events don’t see, scary at all. The atmosphere is not very well descripted. The events in this book seem believable, because they resemble ordinary situations with just a little twist. I’ve always been interested in ghosts, possessions and everything supernatural, so I find the subject of this book very interesting.
If I had not heard so much about it in advance, I might have liked the book, but now it was just not living up to my expectations. When I finally read it, I was disappointed big time. I’ve always liked horror stories, so I was looking forward to reading this book. About how terrifying it was, and that I shouldn’t read it when I was alone in the house at night.
