I haven't seen the movie and I just finished the book. Well my doubt was about the BS the devil kept muttering throughout the exorcism. That's the last bit of the book. Since it was the devil, and obviously he did have certain supernatural powers, he could read minds. So when Sharon(the mother Chris's friend) enters the scene in between to give Regan an injection or something, the devil mocks her by saying something about her wanting Karras, the priest. Something about her sorta having an interest in him(which was pretty obscenely put by the devil)...so what i wanted to know is, was it true? did she really have feelings for the priest? because everything else he was saying was true, so what about this one or was he just getting her upset? and after the devil says that, the book says she 'crimsoned'. could be she just felt horribly embarrassed but whatever, this incident isnt clarified anywhere else later on in the book.

People do sometimes have private physical reactions to one another, and normally they don't say or do anything to show it. It's like the saying, "you can't stop the birds from flying over your head, but you don't let them nest in your hair." So it's possible, but not certain, that such feelings had passed through her. Or, she could just have been embarrassed by the devil's crude suggestion.
Since it's the devil, he doesn't have any problem with lying. He only uses truth when it serves his purpose.

Funny thing about fictitious books...a good writer will leave us with questions like the one you have posed...remember the fictitious book The Da Vinci Code and all the furor generated about and around it? Well guess what...yup...fiction...writen by an incredibly talented writer. Talents such as Dan Brown and William Blatey (sp?) are to be admired for the chum and fodder generated -sometimes to great lengths- in our minds. I'm glad you enjoyed this book to such an extent...may I suggest Edgar Allen Poe, Robert McCammon and/or Neale Donald Walsch?

The devil was saying things that embarrased her. Until he arrived she was clueless to lust. Hence Crimson. The Devil put inpure thoughts into her head. But, it was the devil speaking not Regan. The Devil will manipulate anything to get it's way.
