This book is a fun nostalgic book of 80s references. It is an entry level horror if you scare easily, but want to get your feet wet. Not too scary or gory, but one part about vomit did freak me out. This book is about friendship and commitment to it despite adversity. It also speaks about privilege and what security that provides for you, working hard to make your own way, and it also pays homage to the south, South Carolina. This book made me laugh, pissed and also homesick. So much more innocent times in the 80s. Fun read, but not hardcore and the exorcism was cheesy. Several plot holes, but nothing to leave you wanting more. Looking forward to the movie.
