Slow to start and piecey writing. I was struggling to pick this up until I passed the middle and things started going full force ahead in the home. I like a classic paranormal story, but I liked the Exorcist better.
I think basically I was expecting there to be... more? To this?
Having watched so many films, that get so utterly ridiculous, and knowing what an iconic horror location the Amityville house is, I think it's maybe really easy to forget what an impact this story had when it first came out. And maybe it's impossible to recapture that. But overall, what I felt reading this allegedly true account of the Amityville haunting was, frankly, boredom.
I almost wish I could have read it with fresh eyes, to really get the impact of it.

I've seen films about this event but it was interesting to read the details involved. I'd recommend to anyone interested in this event, especially someone interested in comparing this book to other texts and renditions.
