Customer Reviews

The struggle was real

I am a fan of horror, hauntings, possessions, ect.....the story of what happened to Carlotta ( real name Doris) is interesting, and terrifying. However the copious times her nude body was described was annoying. The repetitive use of the word undulate ( ing, ed) was generic , and tiresome. This book in my opinion could have lost a hundred pages and been more concise. I put it aside a few times and took days to come back to it. I remember the movie from years ago and always wanted to read the book. I'm glad I have it in my personal library but it is not worthy of a reread.

The Entity

I had this Book a long time ago? I wanted to reread the Book Again!

Entity (Novel)

Great service!! The book was what I expected.

Good

Although I found the book to have too much detail in this woman's everyday life, it did give you a feel for have normal she was. I do have to admit that it's not as creepy as the Exorcist but it does make you wonder.

I thought it was cool!!

I really loved this book. I've seen the movie, before I read the book and I love the book a million times more than the movie. You really get into the life of Carlotta (Carla in the movie). You get flashbacks of her life from when she was a child, to her first and second marriage. And the ending IS different. This book scared me constantly while reading it, it kind of freaks me out to hear that it's based on a true story. All in all, if you find a copy of it, BUY IT... it's now out of print, and worth your time for reading..

Great book to send chills throughout your body!!!

Frank De Felitta tells this story wonderfully! If I am correct, I think it was based on a true story. The entity follows and horrifies one woman's life and family, even is....detected by proffesionals. It makes you wonder what is really out there and makes you scared to sleep. I give this book a great review, I still get scared just thinking about the whole story.
