About this audiobook
William Peter Blatty, the bestselling author and Oscar Award-winning screenwriter of The Exorcist, lived a charmed life among the elite stars of Hollywood. His son Peter, born over a decade after The Exorcist, grew from an apple-cheeked boy into an "imposing young man with a quick, warm smile." But when Peter died very suddenly from a rare disorder, Blatty's world turned upside down.
As he and his wife struggled through their unrelenting grief, a series of strange and supernatural events began occurring, and Blatty became convinced that Peter was sending messages from the afterlife.
A true and unabashedly personal story, Finding Peter will remind those in grief that our loved ones truly do live on.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5To say that you "enjoyed" this book really takes a little work. Peter Blatty puts his heart and soul into making the reader meet, and love his son, Peter. He tells us little things about his child...much like any proud parent would do...however because of the huge impact that his movie The Exorcist has had Peter Blatty Has already had the aura of otherworldly occurrences...scary and divine things attached to him...so getting the reader to see and understand that what he believes about his son has noting to do with the movie...and is to him, real. I found the book both hilariously funny and profoundly moving... a rare combination in any book...and Blatty pulled it off in spades. It didn't matter if I or you believe that he communicated with Peter...he believed it and it helped to bring him comfort after the death of his child.
