This book is not as engaging as Salem Possessed. However, it gives very significant religious issues that help to fill in the blanks left by the account presented in Salem Possessed. This book would have been much better as possibly a 36 page article because the author is very redundant with many points. She beats the horse to death and then beats it some more heating the dead horse so much so that the horse becomes glue. It does provide helpful information though.
