Product Information

Tras una fiesta con algunos excesos, Gretchen desaparece toda una noche en el bosque cercano a la casa de Margaret, otra de las amigas del grupo, cuando aparece a la mañana siguiente no parece ser la misma persona, está como ida, irritable, físicamente cambiada, un cambio que irá oscureciendo cada vez más su carácter a la vez que se irán sucediendo perturbadores hechos en los cuales Abby está convencida que Gretchen está involucrada.

In typical Hendrix fashion, he did a brilliant job balancing humor and horror in “My Best Friend's Exorcism” which made me laugh out loud at some parts and yet still send chills down my spine in others. It s clever, heartfelt, and get-under-your-skin unnerving without succumbing to any of the more predictable exorcism story tropes things happen in this book that you will not expect. In Charleston, the day you become an adult is the day you learn to ignore your neighbor’s drunk driving and focus instead on whether he submitted a paint-color change proposal to the Board of Architectural Review.Eventually, when the exorcist leaves Abby alone with Gretchen things start to turn around for me, I fell back in love with their friendship and the powerful bond Hendrix had created for them. A book podcast recently hailed Grady Hendrix as the king of creating nuanced female characters within the horror genre. Adolescence is a complicated time, and some really bright people think that when the adult emerges, it’s like you’re being taken over by a different person. I loved the ending so much as I wasn’t sure how it was going to end but it left me beyond satisfied thanks to all the suspense leading up to it. Grady Hendrix has a way of writing about friendship, and including details everyone can relate to, that make his books special.

or was tipper gore just so loud in castigating ozzy osbourne, cyndi lauper and jello biafra that no one could hear? Personalmente, llegó un punto que estaba deseando que pasara algo, que explotara por algún lado, y de hecho lo hace pero se demora mucho, todo el tema de la amistad y el día a día en el instituto llegó a hacerse un poco pesado. Speaking of the ending, wow, this was one of the most unique and craziest demonic possessions I’ve ever read.The inter-girl politics between Abby, Gretchen, and their friends was very well done and believable. This was a wonderful tale about friendship and staying connected through it all, even involving demon possession.
