Summary: Frightening, informative, and so very true.
Review: The book echoed some of the innermost thoughts and feelings that I had while using the Ouija. It scared me, but also made me think twice about what using the board means, and the responsibility that comes along with it.

Summary: Well Researched
Review: The ouija board (the name derived from the French and German words for "yes") has been a topic of discussion for years. Is it satanic or just psychologically harmful? Stoker Hunt from an unbiased approach indirectly shows that it is both. In other words, Christians and non-Christians alike should realize that the ouija board can negatively affect them. Even atheistic doctors are warning people of ouija board use.From a Christian point of view I believe ouija board use is much more serious than creating paranoia and psychological trauma. Despite what many people including Christians say, there are no such thing as ghosts. The Bible says that the dead do not return to their house, and that when a person dies their thoughts perish and they know not anything. Any one who uses the ouija board for spiritual purposes is directly contacting demons, not the soul of a dead relative. Stoker Hunt does a good job of covering both sides of the ouija board (from a strictly scientific approach and a spiritual approach), doing many interviews and comes to some serious conclusions: use of the ouija board is not just a harmless game.

Summary: The Essential Ouija Guide!
Review: This book is a must-read for anyone interested in using / researching the Ouija board. Covering all aspects of ouija (history, pro & anti-ouija perspectives, psychological theories, case studies), Stoker Hunt presents an objecive, concise study of probably the most dangerous item to ever be marketed as a 'game'. Hunt himself seems to have no particular opinion on whether the board is harmful or helpful, nor does he appear to have had any first-hand experience; however this does not detract from the overall effect at all - the information he has collated from a variety of sources ultimately invites the reader to make up his or her own mind. From a personal point of view, it was gratifying to read the documentation of a 'discussion' between Hunt & a spirit (communicating through a medium), as it verifies much that I have learnt through my own communications. Conversely it was frightening to read accounts of situations where using the ouija board resulted in less-than-pleasant scenarios, & it is these accounts that made me realise how lucky I was not to experience similar things when I was new to ouija & naive. I think the overall message is very apt: whether you believe ouija connects you to 'the other side', whether you think it expresses our own unconcious thoughts, or whether you think it's all rubbish, DO NOT APPROACH IT LIGHTLY!!!

Summary: A classic standard
Review: This book is well regarded in the Ouija field. You hear it mentioned time and time again.I found the first half exciting and I lost myself in it. The stories recounted in here about peoples experiences with Ouija are fascinating.The second half was more technical, but still informative.
Mr. Hunt did present a balanced view. He interviewed experts both pro and con. He presented both good and bad experiences.
He also included a section at the end about how to start using the Ouija if you are interested.
If you want to start researching Ouija, start here.I think the reason this book does remain such a classic in the field is that its is very well researched and extremely balanced. It has no agenda except fully presenting both sides and letting people decide for themselves on the information presented

Summary: A MUST READ!
Review: This is by far the best book on the imfamous Ouija boards! It actuallly scared me away from using the board at times, but when I'm with other people, I use the warnings and suggestions provided by the book. It gives detailed accounts of possesion and other "happenings" associated with the board! A MUST READ for anyone with an interest in the Ouija boards or Possesion.

Summary: most dangerous game is most interesting read
Review: Wow! A rollercoaster of emotions ran through me as I read this book. I was seriously frightened at times by particular interviews. Thankfully this is an unbiased and well researched, collective work with many views of this all-around "creepy" kids game. While I'm not going to bury my board 18" underground and bless it with holy water, I will surely refrain from exposing myself to anything this potentially serious. All around great reading!
