I already knew the basic story so none of this book was a surprise, but it was still an interesting read. I like the reader on the audio book version as well. It's a bit spooky especially if you believe that the Lutz's account is real.

I know it’s an old book... it’s a crazy story but I felt the writing was very weak and almost distracting at times.
Easy on the exclamation points buddy.

This is the first time I've actually read one of my favorite horror stories. When the original movie was unavailable to stream, I turned to the audiobook. There were a few differences between the movie and the book, but they pretty much run together.
I don't really care whether or not it's true; I like ghost stories. And Amityville will always be a good ghost story.

There’s a core foundation for a good story here, but it's hampered by several issues. First, it reads more like a Dateline episode than a book, covering everything at a high, surface level while skipping the kind of descriptive details that could really elevate the narrative.
It’s also a “true story,” which ends up weakening and dragging on the second half of an already short book. It becomes hard to take seriously and starts to feel like one of those fake house-hunting episodes that air on National Geographic or Discovery Channel at 1 AM when no one’s really watching.
