The Pro's: It's rare to find debate about Catholicism, Pentecostal Christian, and African religion in a young adult book. Scripture was flying everywhere in this book, but I didn't feel like the author was pushing something at me. The entire concept of exorcism and religion was well done. I even checked the publisher to see if this was a Christian publisher, but it wasn't.
The Con's: Oh, Emme's dialect about killed me. I didn't want to read another "yo" or paragraph about her talking back to someone. I know she just came off the streets, but her mother raised her right. Her constant admiration of Francis, the hottie who wants to be a priest, was overdone, too. I assume the sequel (The Exorsistah: X Returns) will reveal more details about whether Francis chooses Emme or the Catholic Church.
