I think it was the dry tone that knocked a star or two off my review. I understand that the authors were trying to present the cases in more of a non-judgmental, non-sensationalist way, but hell, these stories are cool. I want details, I want sturm und drang!
The only other complaint, and it's the exact same complaint as the book [b:The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Career of Ed and Lorraine Warren|1139129|The Demonologist The Extraordinary Career of Ed and Lorraine Warren|Gerald Brittle|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327940411s/1139129.jpg|1126397], is that you get the fun, creepy stories, then the exorcists show up and it becomes somewhat preachy. Every story points out that each house should have religious iconography in it. We shouldn't drink or smoke or engage in deviant sex. Stay away from black candles and Ouija boards. Have faith in the Lord.
Yeah, I get it. They're Christian exorcists, so anything from homosexuality to mental illness can be blamed on Satan and his minions. But it just felt like this played on a bit of a loop through the book.
Still, some fantastic stories. Do I believe any of them? Nope. But were they cool? Yup.… (más)
