Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin
4.0
I think this might be one that I change my rating to five stars in the future. For the time being, I'm going to give it four. I read this book in one day, I already knew the story from the movie, but reading the book was just revisiting that experience. If I were to have gone into the book blind, I think that it would have been an immediate five stars, I will sit on it and see!
Rosemary is trapped and it is so frustrating! I hate her neighbors, I hate her husband, and I hate her damn baby! That being said, I think that Rosemary's Baby says a lot about the 60s, the second wave of feminism, and the fears of a world outside our control. The ending of the novel filled me with rage, never has a book been able to give me that much of a reaction. This was great and I'm excited to read more horror from the latter half of the 20th century.
