About this listen
A young boy is found horribly murdered in a mock crucifixion. Is the murderer the elderly woman who witnessed the crime? A neurologist who can no longer bear the pain life inflicts on its victims? A psychiatrist with a macabre sense of humor and a guilty secret? A mysterious mental patient, locked in silent isolation?
Lieutenant Kinderman follows a bewildering trail that links all these people, confronting a new enigma at every turn even as more murders surface. Why does each victim suffer the same dreadful mutilations? Why are two of the victims priests? Is there a connection between these crimes and another series of murders that took place 12 years ago - and supposedly ended with the death of the killer?
Legion is a novel of breathtaking energy and suspense. But more than this, it is an extraordinary journey into the uncharted depths of the human mind and the most agonizing questions of the human condition.
The answers are revealed in a climax so stunning that it could only have been written by the author of The Exorcist - William Peter Blatty.

Not a bad story, but a little slow
A bit of a slow story. Not as riveting as the exorcist but that’s to be expected. Would’ve helped if the narrator had some personality injected into him, such a dull reading. Story itself was quite good but seemed to get bogged down in its own narrative too often

Spellbinding and beautifully done
This masterpiece by Blatty is a concoction of mystery, the test of faith and the search of truth, via science and religion.Absolutely stunning and profoundly moving.Highly recommended.

It's Boring
I tried to listen to this but it's just so boring. There's no attempt to inflect any character into any of the characters. They all come across as a series of strung together words and nothing else. The second of third chapter (the one with the psychiatrist with a forgettable name) is beyond dull. Even Kinderman, the same colourful detective from The Exorcist is lifeless.
A waste of time.
I retuned it and I'll find something better.

Legion
Disappointing after the brilliance of The Excorist. Legoin rambled too much and was too introspective.
