“Well, surprisingly comparing it to the film, "The Exorcist" is not as scary as its onscreen counterpart, however it is down-right creepy; at least that's my opinion. It's a great book and you'll get into it paragraph by paragraph chapter by chapter. The best time to read it is at night for all of those who like to be scared. You'll won't be able to sleep either because your imagination won't let you stop thinking about it, or nightmares may be terrifying. So if you'd like to read something for Halloween, or just something scary in general, give this a try. ”
