informative reflective medium-paced

Like many others, The Exorcist was my intro to the horror genre. I found this book to provide some insights into the movie that I wouldn’t have picked up on myself, especially considering my age when I was exposed to it (hint - I was likely far too young). So with this movie being a nostalgic thing for me, I was thrilled to see this book as an option, and even more so when I got the audiobook through NetGalley. 

It’s not long, but it is pretty jam packed with information. I found it to be fascinating, but I don’t think it’ll be everyone’s cup of tea. There is a decent amount of technical-type stuff along with the behind the scenes stuff which can easily get boring if that’s not your thing. I think the narrator did a fantastic job of keeping it interesting though, and that’s a big plus.
