The Haunted (Ed & Lorraine Warren Book 3) Kindle Edition

This book arrived quickly and I couldn’t put it down! I read it in 2 days!

I got this book on one of Amazon's Mystery Deals. Ed and Lorraine Warren and their encounters have been a part of my childhood: from Discovery Channel's A Haunting, Lifetime's Unsolved Mysteries, Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures, and so many more documentaries about haunting happenings in the world, they have been model and fascinating fixtures in my understanding of haunted history.I always listen to tales like these with an open mind, not just to those experiencing or documenting the haunting, but also to skeptics. This book has both the almost too real account of an entire neighborhood and dozens of witnesses, but also the entertainment value any skeptic or horror fanatic can really enjoy.As for editing, the book could really do with another look through for misspellings, typos, grammatical errors, and perhaps better organization. I understand the format was to be as closely verbatim to the witness accounts as possible, certain entries had nothing to do with the actual haunting such as the "apprentice demonologist." The formatting definitely could have been better.Overall, I truly enjoyed reading this book over a quaint afternoon and really hope the series could be included in more Amazon sales or Kindle Unlimited. The price is high for an ebook at full price, and for one day per book's reading as an advanced reader, it can be quite expensive to get the whole series for $50US.Thank you for the sale and experience of reading this book. It was truly wonderful and full of nostalgia for me.

I bought this for my sister and she really liked it. She was scared reading it.

A well written account that was co-written by Jack and Janet Smurl. A lot of the information in this book is firsthand. It's really and amazing story. An unfortunate one as well since they did nothing to attract the situation to them. Definitely worth the read.

This book is scarier then anything I’ve read especially because it’s based on a real family haunting and close people to them that witnessed strange things too

Nicely packaged- timely delivery

Of course I had to finish this book on October 31st. Funnily enough, though, it wasn't a particularly scary read. Of course I KNOW movies such as The Conjuring are "enhanced" and exaggerated so that they can work as pieces of fiction, but I definitely didn't imagine this book to feel so... flat.I think it's got to do with the writing style --it's very journalistic, very matter-of-factly, which makes the Smurls' experiences feel a little boring, and not particularly scary, despite the fact that they're dealing with demons and apparitions and even supernatural rape (now that' something I would've never expected for me to write).It's not a bad book, by any means, but none of it is particularly suspenseful or exciting or credible. The ending is anticlimactic, and the Warrens feel surprisingly extraneous to the story; they don't DO very much, contrary to what the movies would like us to believe. I guess if you're a Christian, you're gonna like this book --most of its characters are very religious, and believe in solving their problems with the power of prayer-- but if you're looking for something spooky, you're gonna be a little disappointed, just like me.

The media could not be loaded. I LOVE this book. It is lightly used, a tad dirty on the cover but it’s intact perfectly and has nearly no markings inside, except one small bit on the title page. Arrived early and in great condition!
