The Omen by David Seltzer

3.0

3 stars. Well written and it is definitely is a disturbing story but this is an instance where I think the film (1976 version) is better. There’s certain things in the novel that just didn’t really work for me in text form but the writing itself is really good. It’s atmospheric and moody and the plot of course is really good. I just wasn’t entirely blow away or enthralled with it like I had hoped I would be. I would still highly recommend it though. It’s a classic for a reason and it still gave me the creeps at certain moments.
