Reading Rainbow: The Amnityville Horror

Vitals

Book: The Amnityville Horror
Author: Jay Anson
Publisher: Pocket Star: Reprint 2005
Chapters/Pages: 14/256
My Rating: 6/10

My next book is on the supposedly true haunting of a house on New York, The Amnityville Horror. I had seen the movie & Rory presented me the opportunity to read a copy of his book. It was a quick read (Barely a ay & a half.) & the reading was easy. The real question then comes into play. Do you believe any of this?

I believe in spirits & haunting, however this seems to be a little over the top. If you liked the movie, the book is better. Had the creators of the movie followed the book more closely, they would have had a gem. Ryan Reynolds carried that movie. Instead of a little kid like in the movie, the true story features a demonic pig, a marching band, & some other goofy haunting things. The author leads you to believe this is all plausible, however the family seems to be simply nuts.

I would recommend the book, however take it with a grain of salt. It’s a good read & you should enjoy it. But don’t take my word for it…
