The Vatican's Exorcists: Driving Out the Devil in the 21st Century Audiobook

" Very informative! I now know everything that I will ever need to know about exorcism. Ever. "

" Odd how some traditions linger "

" An interesting look at an ancient Church practice from a secular journalist who shows judgemental skepticism over true, unbiased journalism. Even so, the interviews and first-hand accounts with exorcists and the exorcised made her bias tolerable. "

" The strangest thing about this book is that it's poorly written. You wouldn't think the Los Angeles Times' Rome bureau chief would use the word "dastardly" without irony. Also, it betrays an ignorance not only of Catholicism but of basic philosophical concepts like logic. Disappointing. "

" Truthfully, I only got halfway through before I had to read other things (not because I was bored with this, but because I HAD to read them), but look forward to the day I re-read what I've already read and read the rest. It provides a rarely-seen side of Catholic belief and practice. "

" Pretty interesting. Sometimes creepy. Read it all and decide for yourself how much is legit. "

" The research only covered a narrow portion of the topic of exorcism (it was specifically on the Italian exorcists). It could have been a little broader but it was a quick read and held my interest. "

" If you think Christians are superstitious imbeciles, and you don't really concern yourself with actual facts, you might enjoy this book. You'll already have two things in common with its author. "

" A short introduction with historical background and case studies. "

" This book was okay. It was a quick, condensed history of exorcisms, exorcists, and their patients. If you're looking for the thrills of "The Exorcist", this is not for you. "

" Strange little book about exorcism. I am missing the reason of this book. Not clear what it wants to tell its readers... "

" Very good, but to honor an Exorcist who is not in union with the Church is practicing his ministry in a grave way. The protection and safety of the Church in critical in such a topic. "
