Work detailsSon of Rosemary: The Sequel to Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin (1997)
None. As a fan of the movie, I was anxious to see how Levin would take this. Rosemary is really true to the previous book. She is idealistic and free of her ex she is much more independent. Overall I liked the way it was going but felt like it was rushed. So much more could have been done with it. The completely unnecessary sequel to Rosemary’s Baby. What a slipshod book! Sentence fragments, overuse of the word “et cetera,” and (SPOILER) it all ends as a dream. It reads like the notes for a first draft. Levin must have dashed it off in a few days. Do yourself a favor and don’t even spend a minute reading it. Read because I liked Rosemary's Baby (2001). A disappointment. It felt like Levin was (understandably) trying to cash in on the successes of his earlier work, but sadly this sequel did not live up to the original, Rosemary's Baby, in any way. I picked this book up at my local used bookstore. I had such high hopes, having loved Rosemary's Baby many years ago. Unfortunately this novel falls flat right out of the gate. It is hard to believe it was written by the same author! A very disappointing book, and life is too short to read bad books. no reviews | add a review

Looking back, I feel deep shame either because I didn't get the joke, or because I actually finished the thing.
