I liked this a lot. It’s a short read and very different from the movie. However, parts did make me sit straight up and gave me pause. I’m glad I read it.
Do not read this book at night. It will scare the poop out of you.

The fact that this book is toted as a true story is incredible to me. Never have I been inclined to legitimately believe in ghost attacks and demonic passages into the real world. Keeping that in mind, this book was a very entertaining read. Knowing that George and Kathleen Lutz, not to mention their three children, were actually subject to horrors similar to these churned my stomach, and yet I was kept interested by the constant variety of bizarre happenings that they fall prey to over the course of their stay in the fabled DeFeo house. Although not a book I would reread and probably fabricated for the most part, this is a book that will stay with me for a while.
3.5 but I rounded up.
I've never seen the movie, but I have always enjoyed paranormal hunter shows and movies.
It is a true story, dunno. But I enjoyed it for what it was - a spooky book read during a spooky season.

I am a horror girly and I consume so much of it that horrror movies no longer faze me. Finally I got myself a copy of this book and when I tell you I was terrified to the bones, I'm dead serious. I had to take my time in finishing it because I didn't want it to end - the fear, I mean. But all good things come to an end so now I need recommendations for horror reads. :)
A pretty engaging story, I enjoyed reading about the paranormal events that plagued the Lutz's house. The priest frustrated me, however, and I felt they should have left the house a lot earlier if they were feeling that personally attacked by the spirit. I also feel that if the spirit had wanted them to die, it would have killed them way faster, but it seemed to want to torment them for sport. I personally wanted someone to die just for more excitement, but that's just how I felt the book could have been more intense. I wanted more backstory into the family that lived there before, and more backstory about the people that lived there before, I felt there needed to be more exposition.
I was getting really into the story, until we found out that "Jodie" was a pig. The pig thing kind of ruined it for me, as soon as the pig was revealed, I felt the whole story was less intense.
Overall though, it is pretty fast paced, and I enjoyed it. Definitely not the scariest book ever written.
