A great book

a lot of what the Warren says quite true in certain aspects of my life someone negative and you have had to face is always bringing me down so this book is so giving me some sort of understanding as to what's happening in my world in the real world so I can understand why Ed and Lorraine Warren talk about love life and happiness to drive off evil spirits I think it's well worth a read and I think it's very important you do

overall very good

the book itself was very enjoyable, a good set of stories and explains why the warrens had such a successful career. it is very much from their view point as to why the things they say they experienced happened.

This is from their Catholic views. I perform my own paranormal investigations on a regular basis and I have never seen nor experienced anything like this at all. that is not to say however they have not. however the religious parts which at times they really go in to seem so far fetched but I understand that again this is all from their point of view.

still the book was a good 12 hours of would entertainment .

Straight from the experts

Thoroughly enjoyed listen to the real stories from the popular Conjuring and Annabelle movies. Todd did a great job representing the characters

Loved it!

I was compelled to read this book almost in one sitting. I have heard of Ed and Lorraine Warren and know that they attracted supporters and also sceptics over their 'powers.'

My viewpoint was 'sit on the fence' until I listened to this book. It's layout, as a chat between friends reminiscing, or relating advice
to those who have experienced ghost attacks makes it easy to listen to.

I fully believe that the Warren's have witnessed the paranormal events that they claim to have seen. This book must be quite old as Ed Warren passed away some time ago but in his time, he helped many people.

A good listen. An insight as to how the Church views hauntings, Demons and Exorcism. I found myself wanting to hear more!

EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING! DISTURBING & SPOOKY AS HELL

What did you like most about The Demonologist?

I actually couldn't stop listening and found it compelling, terrifying, knowledgeable, thought provoking and just a fantastic read. The only time I couldn’t read the book was after dark or when I was alone as found it too disturbing.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved both Ed & Lorraine Warren. They made it their life's work to help others that were in very dark situations. They got a calling as no one in their right minds however demented would want to go down this career path unless compelled by something. They came across as really caring, kind and genuinely wanting to help. Believer or not this is based on true facts.

Which character – as performed by Todd Haberkorn – was your favourite?

I thought Todd did a fantastic job in bringing the stories to life and the voices he mimicked from Ed, Lorraine to the demonic cockney accents were really good - (found them funny). I would definitely listen to others books he has done. He is a great story teller.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

WHEN THERE IS NO MORE ROOM IN HELL, THE DEAD WILL WALK THE EARTH

Any additional comments?

A lot of scepticals will obviously have a problem with this book and I would not have read this if I hadn’t seen Annabelle or The Conjuring. Just wanted to know behind the story details and also found they worked on Amityville case and so many more…….

Fun fiction read as fact

Very well read and an intriguing listen, but a book for a pre-internet age. A lot of the anecdotal evidence can be checked and found to be false or exaggerated and the rest is beyond fanciful. Regardless the stories are fascinating, it’s no surprise they have become the basis fir a horror franchise (which I also enjoy).

Very interesting

if your fan or Ed & Lorraine's work then you will no doubt love the book. It's a very quick look into the work they have done/doing. If you watched the films they it's great link into the facts behind them plus more cases not covered. It would have been better if they had more details at times.

My criticism is regarding the narrator. i just found it a real struggle listening as the delivery was monotonous.
