Summary: Are you ready for the truth?
Review: It is hard to believe that there are still so many people out there who do not believe in the supernatural. There are others who last loveones and want to establish contact with them in various ways.Reading "The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Careers of Ed and Lorraine Warren" should make you aware of that you should not "play" with things that you do not know and that you might not be able to deal with the possible consequences. The book is not just a set of so called Ghost Stories but a very very usable source of gaining knowledge on the topic. I would call the book a WARNING an insight into the "Other World".
I have to admit that I was scared to death when I read the book but I was unable to put it down. I read over half of it in 5 hours and I had the feeling as if somebody did not want me to read it.
I urge you to read this book even if you are a non believer. It will help you when you are confronted with the spirit world and teach you to be careful in what you are doing.

Summary: Rock-Solid. It's In My Top Ten Non-Fiction List.
Review: It's understandable that most people would dismiss a book like this out of hand. However, considering that this book really does stand in a league of its own, it would be the reader's loss to give this a miss.I've read widely in many genres including the "ghost/spirit" genre. As a librarian, it has been my job to review non-fiction books of all varieties and judge them for quality. I also have a bit of an interest in the topic personally. So, when I say this book is most recommended, and is in fact in my Top Ten Non-Fiction List, I sincerely mean what I am saying. I know that the subject seems a bit ... cheesy. Frankly, it's been done to death (no pun intended), but it has never been done RIGHT until Mr. Brittle's book came along. Conjecture, sensationalism, cornyness, New Age claptrap -- I wouldn't blame you if you thought this book was just another lame "Magic for Dummies" type offering. HOWEVER: 1. This book was meticulously researched and documented.
2. This book does not contain anything remotely cheesy. In fact, the cases in this book are explored with a brisk, no-nonsense tone.
3. The pictures included are worth seeing.
4. Ed and Lorraine Warren did not collect phat paychex for going into haunted houses. In fact, they did all of their work for free. Contrast that with many of the so-called "psychic researchers" we see on TV today.
5. This book reads more like a textbook than it does anything else.
6. This book does not try to push religion or in fact any viewpoint down the reader's throat. The facts are presented and you are left to make up your own mind.
7. Ed and Lorraine kick b*tt and make no apologies for their beliefs. I was very happy to see this book available on Amazon, as it was out of print for years and the only copy I could find was on Alibris for $100. I would say, buy this book while you can. You'll thank me -- and you'll thank Gerald Brittle, Ed, and Lorraine for being forthright about this much-maligned topic.

Summary: By and far the Scariest Book Printed
Review: Read this book in 1987, and it scared the bejesus out of me! I have never come across a book with such an intensive archive of supernatural occurences, that keeps you so interested. Very believable and informative. DO NOT READ WHEN ALONE!!!

Review: Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. These books will help you determine what is the devil's strategy, and to defeat him. Prayer and Faith in the Blood of Jesus is a powerful tool in the hand of each of us as a child of God. Be free from sickness of mind and body, obey the Lord, and He will protect and save you. Read your Bible and be open to the Word of God through His Holy Spirit and His trained teachers. Go to church and associate with others of firm belief. You will be saved, and UNAFRAID.

Summary: Everyone is scared!!!
Review: The best book I have read on the subject. Not just informative but an awakening. It scared me after reading it with same results as the other reviews. But I'll have to say it scared me like nothing else really has, especially a book. I have not only corroborated situations in this book with others, but also stories from individuals who have misleadingly put themselves in such situations with the same disturbing conclusions. After over twenty years I still remember the process. Infestation, obsession and possession. There is a world which exsists with ours. One we cannot comprehend on a human level.

Summary: New Book
Review: The first book was great. In this new one they cut out stories and many pictures. It is not the same book.
Very disapointed in that.

Summary: Definitely a thought-provoking book
Review: Their book offers not only chilling factual accounts of hauntings and demonic oppression, but also intriguing theories that seek to explain why such events occur. My personal experiences and theology persuade me to believe much of what I read about demonic oppression and possession in the book, but I still seek an explanation of ghosts that would gel better with the Judeo-Christian scriptures. The book is well worth the read, though. In fact, you won't be able to put it down, except to investigate those strange noises you keep hearing in the other room. It will certainly make you paranoid about what invisible, spiritual forces may exist all around us. Check it out.

Summary: Scary FICTION
Review: This book is a fictional work about the fictional careers of Ed and Lorraine Warren, perhaps best known for their participation in the Amityville "horror" fraud on the public.

Summary: Great read, Makes you think.
Review: This book is a great read. It makes you think about
what is, or is not out there. And the foolish chances that people take with their
lives. I have also heard this couple speak at our
local school, that along with the photos and the
book will stand your hair on end.

Summary: You don't have to be a sceptic, just don't be an idiot.
Review: This is a well written book. Which is about the only good thing I can say about it. It is sad when so many of the understood phenomena in the world today are attributed to ghosts, spirits, demons and things that go bump in the night. An example would be the previous reviewers remarks on sleep paralysis. A *well* understood occurance, that was attributed to incubi and succubi in the middle ages. For those people to whom this book is a sort of self-affirming gospel, I could do no better than recommend Carl Sagan's "The Demon-Haunted world" for a really accessible book on how ignorance about the world around us (and unproven, unthought, *un-tested* faith in the invisible world) is not only dangerous to you, but to the society you live in. You don't have to dismiss everything "supernatural" but you should *question* it, the way you would question *anything*.
