Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Terrible, just terrible. Not only was it poorly written, it was completely unnecessary! I can't even believe the same author wrote both of these books! AND, the end of this book basically ruins the first book! WTF? I'm just going to pretend I never read this. Maybe Satan could take me back in time... For some reason I wanted to re-read this. Again the book shows choppy sequences, an annoying Rosemary who becomes irritating with how much she wants to embrace fame, and a terrible ending - but it does have something in the beginning and middle that draws me in a bit. Full review posted on another read/reviewed edition Belongs to SeriesRosemary's Baby (2)
The sequel to the New York Times bestseller Rosemary's Baby: a thrilling, cautionary tale of the troubling forces that war within each of us. The modern master of suspense Ira Levin returns to the horror of his 1967 ground-breaking novel Rosemary's Baby with this darkly comic sequel set at the dawn of the millennium. Thirty-three years ago, Rosemary gave birth to the Devil's child while under the control of a satanic cult of witches. Now the year is 1999, and humanity dreads the approaching twenty-first century, desperately in search of a savior for this troubled world. In New York City, Rosemary's son Andy is believed to be that savior. But is he the force of good his followers accept him to be? Or is he his father's son? Rosemary and Andy will be reunited in a battle of wills that shall decide the fate of humanity-and keep readers on the edge of their seats until the final page. No library descriptions found. |

Rosemary knows what her son is but she is still his mother and she tries very hard to keep her faith in him. And Andy is like every superhuman out there, quite capable and aware of his powers and on the surface he seems to try to actually help but can he be trusted(
Ending is a true twist (in more ways than one) but I would not agree that it is bad. For me it is in spirit of first novel - Rosemary gets to live through Groundhog Day of her own. She is selected by someone (something?) to participate in the looong chess game and she might be unwilling pawn.
