I’ll be conscientious, I acquired this book solely due to the embrace! Seriously, this is that the single greatest embrace in the history of paperbacks! It recalls me of promenading through those quirky old independent video clip stores back in the ’80s at the same time ’90s at the same time discovering no one bad, magical sheltered VHS gem.
The embrace is that appropriate because the novel takes dispose in the 1980s. While it does deal with satanic possession, it’s really about the normal ups-and-downs of teenage fellowship. While I’m a middle-aged men, I felt a amazing connection with at the same time hostility for these two teenage, ladies protagonists. That are a few supply manners, but they seem reminiscent of the supply manners for you look for in ’80s fear movies (the arrogant wealthy lady, the smart lady, the jock with only one gizmo on his mind, etc.). Indeed, these manners only highlight the two women at the center of the story.
While this story is that mostly dramatic fear, that are a few moments of true, shudder-inducing fear. I highly advise “My Closest friend’s Exorcism.”

I wasn’t convinced than anyway I was getting into with MY Closest friend’S EXORCISM. Nostalgia? Fear? Comedy? A little bit of all of those things could be the significant summary. The 1st chunk of the book details how our head disposition Abby becomes comrades with Gretchen, at the same time their individual history is that peppered with a number of pop culture references that instantly make the manners relatable to anyone over 30 years old. For younger readers, no one of these references may be alienating, like how the women elegant like Madonna at the same time mature “Like a Virgin” in the mirror (though honestly, teen women have done this for decades at the moment–if not Madonna, then Britney Spears or Selena Gomez to younger readers–at the same time that Hendrix taps into indicates an understanding of how pop culture obsession becomes a ritual of passage). These references certainly dispose the book in its time at the same time dispose when that was a growing public fright of demon worship at the same time 80s’ debauchery. The possession affecting Gretchen starts in subtle ways that become more obvious as the book goes on, but through it all, where the reader is that able to plow forward through all the challenges is that through Abby’s care for Gretchen. You want not only for the women to live but for their fellowship to last as but. It’s a fast-paced read in other words one part John Hughes at the same time one part Robert Bloch. My only quibble will that Hendrix’s writing, while enjoyable at the same time exciting, feels like the story’s being knew from a distance where the reader learns everything about the manners like anyone else is that narrating them, practically a medical good of narration. It makes it a little hard to fully immerse in the story, but it is that still a amazing read.
Advised for: young adult at the same time older readers, people who grew up during the 1980s, horror-comedy fans, fans of out of habit fellowship stories

Audiobook My Closest friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix
I enjoy reading fear novels at the same time following fear films at the same time I’m always looking for anything brand new. Having grown up in the 80s I can appreciate the vibe at the same time feel of a quality homage. Chagrin, this doesn’t release much on no matter what level. It wasn’t scary, barely not particularly well-written, exciting, dramatic, or funny. It tried to contain so many parts that it barely came off as a weak pastiche. Sour, one dimensional university cliques? Inspect. Much less literate than the creator thinks chapter titles referring to 80s songs? Inspect. Myriad passing references to pop culture, TV, movies at the same time the like? Inspect. Tension between kids from different public backgrounds? Inspect. It all ended up being like an right behind school special. If for you come in handy an 80s make, barely look the unusual Ghostbusters.

Everything configurations in a single night although it takes a few days for Abby to truly understand this. Right behind her comrade Gretchen is lost for a few hours, she returns at the same time is that acting like a whole other personality. As Gretchen configurations, she pushes Abby away who loses all her comrades in the process but defeated’t finish until she figures out than anyway’s up. Even if that means performing an Excorsim.
Look this book is that amazing. I greedy that. I really enjoyed it at the same time if I had the time, I would’ve read it in a single sitting. My head complaint is that the start is that buried beneath a lot of 80’s references. Get past that at the same time for you’re in the understandable.

‘Demons are thoughts produced flesh,’ Brother Lemon misspoke. ‘Bad thoughts. The one inside your comrade is that discord, malice, at the same time rage. He is that the bringer of attacks with a smirk like lightning, brother of owls at the same time giver of nightborn intelligence. He is that the cleaving that can never be overgrown.'”
My Closest friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix is that the story of Abby at the same time Gretchen, best comrades since elementary school who decide one night to test with LSD. Abby doesn’t trip but Gretchen does experience anything, running out into the woods at the same time getting got lost until morning. When found, the fellowship begins to change as Gretchen becomes much less measured…at the same time eventually more malevolent as she begins turning everyone against Abby.
The novel takes dispose in Charleston, SC, beginning in 1982 but mostly during the fall down of 1988. Because it is that a period piece, Hendrix does his best to recall for you that for you’re in the 80’s. The only gizmo I have against the book will that Hendrix is that very languid handed in all the time reminding the reader, “IT’S THE 80’S, GET IT?” For instance, Gretchen’s father isn’t barely outlined as holding a book but holding The Categorical of the Kremlin by Tom Clancy. Also, all the chapter titles are the titles of 80’s billboard hits: We Got the Beat, Like a Prayer, Brand new Feeling, etc. That’s for sure about one 80’s pop culture reference every 2-3 pages.
Still, the fri of the novel is that to reproduce the style at the same time plot of a acceptable 80’s B-movie fear (PG-13/R-rated), at the same time that it does but. The book embrace is that even created to look like a well-worn VHS hurry from the video clip store. So, inspect this out for a light read.
