DNF @ 49%. Could not get into this at all.

DNF @ 15%.

Not my cup of tea. Had to force myself to even get to 15% (85 pages).

DNF at 27%. I just can't get into this and don't want to force it.

Couldn't get into this. Found it boring which is such a bummer because I really was excited for this. Might try it again later.

DNF @ 20%

I’ve tried to get into this book twice now within 2 weeks and it’s just nothing like I expected. I watched The Rite (2011) expecting the book to be at least somewhat similar but it’s not from what I gathered.

This is a nonfiction account of the history of exorcisms and does not follow one exorcism start to finish like the movie. It’s also very heavily based in religion. Not super surprising there, but it’s easier to consume religious content when it’s in the form of fiction for me. When it’s non-fiction historical accounts like this, I found myself bored and disinterested. Ultimately, this isn’t what I was looking for and because of that I couldn’t get into it. My expectations were too deeply rooted in the movie.

I just cannot get into this at all.

This just doesn’t appeal to me. Too much of the story is revolving around children and motherhood for me.

There’s nothing wrong with this book, I just realized I’m not in the mood for it at the moment. Returning to this at a later date.

I’m not loving the story set up here. Guy is telling some random people his life story.. doesn’t seem believable and I find it tedious and slow. I just can’t get into this one. DNF at 25%.

Might return to it later.

So slow, so boring. Don’t like any of the characters either.
