A review by stenafie
The Omen by David Seltzer
2.0
Before I started reading this book, I saw another review that said this book was released at the same time as the movie. It was a turn off knowing the book was nothing but a marketing ploy.
The book itself was an easy read, the prose was simple, strait-forth and nothing special. There was a little more insight that wasn't in the movie- there is a little background on the people involved with killing the Thorn child and replacing him with Damien.
Overall, it wasn't that great. I am and always have been a huge fan of the movie- all horror movies in general. I even named my son Damian. I'll always be happy to see the movie, but I probably won't ever pick up the book again.
