- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I was hoping for a lot more from this book, based on reviews I had read. It was not as mysterious and supernatural as I had hoped. It was a lot more confusing than I would've expected. When the details were explained in the police station near the end of the book, it only made me more confused. While I appreciate the author's gift with language, I just didn't wind up liking this as much as I expected to or wanted to.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Redemption (published elsewhere as Dimiter) is a spy thriller with very little in relation to the topics of Blattys other works. Set during the cold war period the novel starts in Albania with a spy named Paul Dimiter being tortured by the authorities.A year later and a whole series of events are being investigated by a Policeman called Peter Meral, is there a link between these and Dimiter? And if there is, can he find it?I found this book at times very slow, and the plot occasionaly incoherent. It has been praised as Blatty's best work, but I don't think it can hold a light to his earlier offerings. Or maybe I just expected something different.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The author weaves it slow so you are left in the dark for much of the time but the story and the characters are developed so well after a short time you are well consumed.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Dimiter. William Peter Blatty. 2010. Blatty, author of The Exorcist, has written a novel that is a weird mix of religion, espionage, and detection. The book opens with a mystery man being tortured in Albania and then moves to an Israel. The police struggle to solve a series of strange murders that you know are connected in some way with the man being tortured in Albania. The reader doesn’t understand what is happening until last chapter so you read on faith that the book will make sense. And it does. It is a short compelling book, but not for everyone. Reviewers on Amazon either seem to love it or hate it. We saw Blatty interviewed on The World over Live and were impressed with him and decided to read the book.
