My Best Friend's Exorcism: A Novel

Product Information

anyone interested in seeing William Peter Blatty's infamous The Exorcist (1971) by way of Heathers shouldn't miss it. Ahora que ha pasado algún tiempo ya me he alejado de este relato y puedo decir con seguridad que el título como principio es un punto muy en contra para la historia.

Grady Hendrix’s writing on this one at times felt like a to-do list, simply listing what happened with barely any description besides the bare basics. The rare exorcism book that will make you cry, My Best Friend's Exorcism is both a truly scary tale and a loving tribute to high school friendship.

The inside covers have all kinds of handwritten messages from classmates (some of whom are mentioned in the story), and there are even facsimile yearbook ads and class pictures in the starting and end pages. The only reason I'm not rating this book any lower is because some parts of it were pretty entertaining. really love how grady hendrix sometimes will intertwine other topics in his horror books, for example this book that focuses on horror but friendship at the same time. Speaking of the ending, wow, this was one of the most unique and craziest demonic possessions I’ve ever read. That was a first for me in a horror novel and helped take this reading experience to a whole other level.

It’s twenty years ago and she’s bombing over the old bridge in a crapped-out Volkswagen Rabbit, windows down, radio blasting UB40, the air sweet and salty in her face. It didn’t even matter that Gretchen brought a stupid children’s bible as a gift, they were BFFs as soon as they skated under the sparkling lights of the disco ball on that roller rink. It’s not forced and all flows naturally into the narrative setting the scene and tone instantly transporting you back. I Stayed up late with my parents to watch the premiere video for Micheal Jackson's Thriller when it was an event on network television, I crimped my hair, had a Swatch Watch, wore Esprit Jeans and sprayed myself with Exclamation perfume every morning of eighth grade.

Aunque nadie se los pondrá fácil, ni siquiera sus progenitores, que estarán demasiado ocupados con sus vidas como para prestarles la más mínima atención a sus hijas adolescentes. Yes, it feels spoofy at times and has its own sense of humour, but overall it's a really wonderfully touching book. I loved that each chapter was named after a song from the 80s, I loved all the cultural references, I loved that Gretchen went through a stage of crimping her hair. He has this way of weaving genuinely creepy scenes with lovable characters, pop culture references, and cheeky one-liners that always make me smile. this is, by the way, the complete opposite of how we do in new england, which is pretty much exactly like The Scarlet Letter and The Crucible.
