Some interesting parts but overall just beliefs and opinions. I was expecting something more exciting.

Repetitive, and disappointing. But perhaps more realistic than the stories about exorcists and their experiences. The exorcisms performed seemed mostly related to disturbances in the mind of the victim, rather than anything more supernatural or external influences; and it was simply prayer, and the willingness of the victim to ask for a cure that deemed the exorcism a success. Still interesting.
