I read it in 2 hours!
What a good book. For both my husband and I to read it in 2 hrs or so, sure says something. I love this type of book...suspensful and makes you think. I had to go right out and get the movie that night. The pictures show alot of the movie fottage, but the diary of Heather is the killer in the book. That's what did it for me. I would highly recommend this book, however, until today I thought it was real! So, keep in mind, when I read the book and saw the movie, I beleived it had all actually happened as they said. The killer for me was the part about what it meant in the house when a person was standing facing the wall! Then I saw the last scene in the movie! WOW! Chilling! You'll have to read and watch to find what I mean. Freaked me out! A great book.

It's great!
The book I read was "The Blair Witch Project" by A. Dossier. It was a amazing book because the author uses a very different way of writing. Instead of just writing about "Blair Witch" the book uses interviews, letters, and police reports. You should read this book.

Be reasonable; suspend disbelief.
The power of storytelling, no matter the medium, is for the audience to suspend their disbeliefs for a certain amount of time in order to enter the storyteller's narrative.

The book, expanding on the film, is treated as a dossier: A complilation of events surrounding the dissapearence of three university students while on assignment to create a documentary on an American legend. From backgound reports filed by the Burkittsville Sheriffs Department, a private investigation agency, newspaper articles, and interviews with family and friends of the missing students, the dossier compiled by D.A. Stern gives those that were interested in the film a better understanding of what indeed happened--and will let us, the audience, make up our minds as to the circumstances of three very unlucky people.
