4.0 out of 5 stars Re read last chapter, October 5, 2010

This review is from: Son of Rosemary (Paperback)

I read this book recently, directly after reading Rosemary's Baby for the first time. I had seen the movie, Rosemary's Baby years ago, saw it in the library and checked it out again. Then I decided to read the book. Staright way then I read this book. Contrary to what many readers have posted in other sites, I did not find this book to be the straight-forward hastily written hack job, I thought it was cleverly written, just as the first one. I think the ending of this book has been mis-interpreted by many readers. If you read the first book, and then this one, you will see a consistent style. It differs from the movie stylistically though. Also, it doesn't top the first one, almost no sequel could do that- so I give it one star less.

2.0 out of 5 stars This Book is a Mess, April 4, 2010

I very much enjoy Ira Levin's work. Do not read this book, though, if you expect his usual performance. This book is a mess. It's nowhere near as good as ROSEMARY'S BABY although it tries to be. If you must read it to find out "what happened," as I did, you'll find that what happened is that Ira Levin went a bit nutso. Don't say I didn't warn you.

1.0 out of 5 stars What was he thinking?, July 22, 2011

This review is from: Son of Rosemary (Paperback)

The novel was fairly ridiculous throughout, but the ending was so awful, that were Levin not already deceased when I read the book, I would hunt him down and slap him! I paid 25 cents for this book as a library reject, and I want my money back.
