The Exorcist

7/10

This book was suitably frightening, and the author did an excellent job narrating. There was several times I had to stop listening at night because I was getting creeped out.

I don't have a well defined reason why this isn't higher rated except that the air went out the tires for me somewhere around the 70% mark. I just started getting pretty bored and wanting it to be done. I think the book could have used a bit more focus- it wasn't long, but it felt like it got repetitive and they spent a bit too long dilly dallying around instead of facing the reality of the situation (which I know is part of the point - it just got tiresome). But the stuff the book did well, it did very well. I think it had some of the creepiest scenes I've ever read.
