Loved this way more than i expected too. Originally picked it up simply because i want to read Blatty's Legion.

Went in expecting some terrifying horror, while i didn't get that, did still LOVE the story.

Every chapter from Kinderman or Karras' perspective was so well written i didn't even pay attention to the pages or how long it took me to read their parts. Both are incredibly intricate, intelligent, and compelling characters. Easily the best part of the novel.

Honestly didn't care too much for Chris or Raegan
