A review by reesu
The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson

3.0

I was in the mood for some horror and this book was recommended to me by a friend. I was very convinced it would be a very scary book, so scary I might not even be able to sleep at night, she told me. So naturally, I picked it up right away hoping it would satisfy my horror craving. Well, it did not. There were no real frightening scenes. And it had lots of eye-rolling moments. As for the writing, it was not great, in fact it was terrible and dull and clumsy and annoying at times and the editing was atrocious, I would have stopped reading but because it's a short book I kept at it. There is a lot of conspiracy surrounding this event and whether or not it is true, I personally won't bother with all this. Take it for what it is; an engaging, fast-paced, easy read although far from being scary.
