Fascinating read about a seldom discussed subject. The book covers the division within the Catholic church over this subject, and follows a priest through his exorcist training. Believer or not, Catholic or not, this is a thoroughly interesting read for anyone remotely spiritual.

This was a very interesting perspective. There were sections that I didn't want to put the book down. This would be a good companion to anyone who has read the exorcist. It is not necessarily a book that will scare but rather educate you regardless if you are a practicing Catholic or not.

The true story following Father Gary Thomas as he trains to become an exorcist. Not much to say really, was quite bored a lot of the time as the book went into all the different theologies surround the catholic faith etc. Some nice moments but far too repetitive.
