rft183 's review for:
Rosemary's Baby
by Ira Levin
I honestly didn't have high hopes for this book. Years ago I read its sequel, Son of Rosemary, and thought it was terrible. But since Rosemary's Baby is considered such a classic I figured maybe it was better than its sequel. The book ended up being exactly what I expected. It was definitely better than its sequel, but it was very predictable (and no, I haven't seen the movie). I was disappointed with the character of Rosemary. She was very naive and made poor choices throughout the entire novel. Overall, the book kept my attention, but I was not terribly impressed with it. I'm not sure if it was because I read the book 45 years after it was written or if it was that way at the time.
