Exorcism scenes. Just nope. Fast forwarded through some of the recitations because it grates me to hear it (feels sacrilegious in a way, but it's handled fairly respectably---until the point I needed to skip past it because it felt wrong to me personally). But only did very little. And am in the middle of it still where Marjorie frequently is having to be covered by her comforter. We will see if I outlast this book.

The only reason I persist in reading this is because the internal debate: Is it possession or mental illness? The reason I'm particularly susceptible to this debate is due to my prior studies in mental health. I watched some students at the school I attended jump first to possession vs. mental health being the actual issue, and while I do believe that either is possible, I would begin always with mental status.
