Negative Positive
Title: Un-inspiring
Review: Fr. Amorth comes across as a very sincere, devout and orthodox ecclesiastic. He warns the readers about the danger and theologicall shortsightedness of ignoring or dismissing demonic possesssions. Agreed. He mentions several times in his book the work of Fr. Candido Amantini, a Passionist priest and exorcist who was his "mentor". While I feel very happy and greaful for Fr. Amorth's ministry and service to the Church, I also feel that his narrative (resulting from years of experience)is boring and uneventful and that his exorcisms were not as dramatic and tragic as Fr. Candido's (luckily for him!). I recommend readers who want to read about exorcisms and demonic possessions to read Malachi Martin's "Hostage to the Devil". The contrast between Martin's and Amorth's narratives is very palpable.
