5.0 out of 5 stars Loved It, May 21, 2008

By	pammur (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

I'm old enough to remember Rosemary's Baby and how chilling that was. This was reminincient of that story, but very good in its own right. This was my first book by this author.

2.0 out of 5 stars For Me, Not One of Mr. Neiderman's Best, September 21, 2007

By	Kim "Hermione" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

After much arguing Kate talks her life partner Willy into having a baby by way of artificial insemination. To Kate's surprise, she is contacted personally by a mysterious company who offers their services. After the first try, even though Kate is told she is not pregnant, she starts experiencing the symptoms of a mother in her third trimester. Unfortunately no one believes her including Willy. As another reviewer wrote, this novel has all the hallmarks of Rosemary's Baby. That isn't what bothered me though. The only character I found likeable was Kate who is stuck battling her feelings of knowing something is wrong and doubting her own sanity. Willy I could not stand. I found her arrogant, selfish, and completely unsupportive of the woman she supposedly loves. Also, I found it hard to believe that Kate would not have gone to her previous Dr. with her concerns before she did. That said, the plot itself was interesting with plenty of twists and turns which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of one. I continue to count the author as one of my favorite writers which is why I look forward to his next book.
