I am in my 60s and has never read this book. I found it hard to believe that so many people found the book so disturbing. I found it to be a clever story with quirky characters - by no means frightening. But I would definitely recommend this novel.

Wonderfully written; Blatty knows what he is doing. Fair warning though, this book is not for the faint of heart. Nonetheless, it is a testament about the triumph of faith and God’s mysterious yet benevolent providence rather than spinning heads and shaking beds.

I have not been able to stop reading.

Fantastic read as good or better than the movie!

…from beginning to end….simply fantastic!

One of the best books i’ve read in a while. So much better than the movie. The ending really got an emotional response from me. Highly recommend.

This book reads more like a case study than a work of fiction. Only rarely does the writer’s voice switch to soaring art and metaphors etc. Normally he sounds like a reporter simply relaying the events and this works as a counterbalance to the abnormal occurrences in the story. Nonetheless the story is engaging and powerful. No satisfaction or neat resolutions are sought so don’t expect any. This is the story of the war between faith and reason, rational thinking and religion with no clear winner.

The book gives greater detail to what they showed on the 1973 classic film. It gave me a clearer understanding of the movie and why they decided to keep some scenes in it and take some out. This is a fantastic book very chilling I would recommend it to those who love physiological thrillers.

Absolutely terrifying, and intriguing book. Finished it within two days, couldn’t put it down.

I love every second spent reading this. Worth every Kobo spent. Highly recommended.
