Monotonous Monotone Dialogue

I was really excited initially to hear about this book and the little known case of Poltergeist activity, however after getting through half the book the incident repercussions and the monotone voice of the narrator turned me off the book. The story itself is an interesting one, as there were countless witnesses to the paranormal activity, however because it is told in a very factual manner the story doesn't grip you in any way. Plus, it is unusual that the family stayed in the house, when all this was going on, I believe most people especially those harmed would look for a way out, which makes me think did the family create more of the phenomena then was actually really happening.

Ed and Lorraine Warren Publicise Themselves Again!

I was quite disappointed with this book. In my opinion it is more 'fiction paranormal' as opposed to 'non fiction paranormal.'

It contains the usual description of Ed and Lorraine Warren according to themselves. This appears in all of their books and their constant self indulgent "trumpet blowing" soon becomes tedious reading or listening if you read their whole book series.

It is worth noting that Ed and Lorraine, according to another book written on this 'case' were asked to leave and not to come back by the home owners themselves. One of the first things Ed did, was to telephone all the media - national papers; local papers and television channels - all expensive calls on these poor people's own telephone to gain self publicity for the 'happenings.' If you were in the middle of having your life turned upside down by paranormal events i' am sure that the last thing you would want would be to have the media knocking on your doorstep!

Although the story in the main keeps your attention I would rather have heard from the home owners what their actual perspective was and how or if the problem was finally sorted for them.

The narration although good, does tend to get tedious after a while. Especially when the man is trying to portray Lorraine Warren's voice.

On the whole, in my opinion it is a reasonable listen provided that you bear in mind the above caveats. Other books written independently on this Paranormal episode are more objective and should be read to receive a better opinion.

A Well Written Account of a Little Known Case

This was exactly what I was looking for, a well researched, clear, well written account of a not very well known case of poltergeist activity. The writing style is straightforward and factual, giving weight to the events and phenomena being described.

I was slightly dubious when the Warrens pitched up but thankfully the writer sticks to the facts of what happened and doesn't give them any undue attention for their 'demonic' theatrical nonsense and they disappear halfway through. It also appears that the family involved in this case had no interest in promoting or profiting from the situation so that put the kibosh on the Warren's usual Modus Operandi to profit from other peoples misfortune.

If you are interested in factual accounts of paranormal phenomena backed by consistent witness testimony then this is the audio book for you.
