Title: Not as good as The Exorcist
Review: I've also read The Exorcist, Dimiter, and Elsewhere by William Peter Blatty. I loved The Exorcist, but none of his other novels are nearly so good. Legion includes the detective from The Exorcist, named Kinderman. Kinderman was the least interesting character from The Exorcist, and one of the reasons the book is so good is that Blatty keeps his role minor. Not so in Legion. As in his other books, it seems important to Blatty to promote Jewish identity and subculture: this may work for some readers, but I found his intellectual ponderousness distracting and mildly obnoxious. The other problem with the book is that it's a police procedural mainly. The Exorcist was no such thing: police involvement in a crime was a minor aspect of that book, and thank goodness. Again, though, other readers enjoy police procedurals. If so, this book may work for you better than it did for me.
