djww 's review for:

The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson

3.0

---

I liked this, I was surprised! I think it was a very well told story and even found myself becoming a little spooked reading at night alone! I think the contention/discourse around the truthfulness of the Lutz account is well discussed within the book and I didn't at all feel like it was written to sway me one way or the other. It felt more like the author was talking to you about this story that he had heard and all the other parts he had found out around it.

I had never watched the movies and didn't know much about it apart from the heavy pop culture stuff, so I got this basically out of curiosity and my curiosity was certainly met!
