Absolutely disappointed with the amount of paranormal events described in this book, they were only a few mentions of ghostly encounters. It mostly rambled on about family bonds, cosmos, how things happen for a reason etc etc. I was hoping for a good true horror story instead I got a whole bunch of information about absolutely nothing. Also the amount of grammar mistakes in this book is ridiculous. Save yourself the time and skip past this book.

This book is ALL about Andrea's need for attention, yet she says her younger sister Nancy was/is the needy one. The phrases "boo" "speed of light" "message recieved" etc ad nausea!. Seriously I read it on a 10 inch tablet and there was a whole page that size devoted to running down Nancy's friend Katy as the demon seed (Perron's words). She talks in the third person and litteraly skips bac and forth, such as the well digging thing, it was I thought finnished then she startedwriting about it agian with just about the same paragraphs. I HONESTLY THINK SHE'S MENTALLY ILL AND/OR DRUNK AS WELL WHEN SHE WROTE THESE PIECES OF CRAP!!. I WANT MY MONEY BACK! Please just do not do like I did and believe the bad reviews were wrong,lol the bad reviews were every bit as true as MINE is. Sad but true.

The subject matter of this book and the infamy of this house should have been more than enough to create a compelling and fantastic story. How disappointing that it did not deliver. Ms. Perrone is a very, very poor writer; her writing was redundant, her thoughts scattered and not fully developed, her recounting of a true history completely lacked a structured timeline. She overly detailed the first two years in the house then skipped, quite vaguely, to the last years. She repeatedly made reference to the Warren's involvment, yet never never gave details. I personally became irrationally irritated by her overuse of the word "harbinger" as well as her rambling attempt to philosophize how the family's experiences shaped their later lives and her ubiquitous cutesy little quips (for example: "Lo! and behold" or "Be careful what you wish for" etc, etc). I would rather have had the 500+ pages filled with all the important details she left out! Knowing that she has threatened two more volumes in this sage could explain the lack of detail in the first book. It also reinforces my opinion that Ms. Perrone is a terrible writer.
