From Amazon.com

When published in 1967, Rosemary's Baby was one of the first contemporary horror novels to become a national bestseller. Ira Levin's second novel (he went on to write such fine thrillers as A Kiss Before Dying, The Stepford Wives, and The Boys from Brazil), Rosemary's Baby, remains perhaps his best work. The author's mainstream "this is how it really happened" style undeniably also made the novel his most widely imitated. The plot line is deceptively simple: What if you were a happily married young woman, living in New York, and one day you awoke to find yourself pregnant? And what if your loving husband had--apparently--sold your soul to Satan? And now you were beginning to believe that your unborn child was, in reality, the son of Satan? Levin subtly makes it all totally plausible, unless of course, dear Rosemary--or the reader--can no longer distinguish fantasy from reality! A wonderfully chilling novel, it was later faithfully transformed into an equally unnerving motion picture. In 1997, a sequel was spawned, Son of Rosemary. --Stanley Wiater This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Rosemary's Baby, Mars 5 2009
Par Debbie Venton (Québec, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Rosemarys Baby (Paperback)
I have heard about this book since I can remember and people were always telling me that I must read it at least once in my lifetime....mission accomplished! Now I will be telling people that they must read this book at least once in their lifetime! I really enjoyed the book; the author brings this story alive as if you are really living it, and it's really hard to put the book down once you start! No joke, I was up in the middle of the night to know what was going to happen next. Now I want to read the second part of the story, Son of Rosemary. I read the opinions of some people but I must say that this story is so aewsome that I don't care about the negative opinions of others. I want to know what happens with her son! I really recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Masterpiece, Aoû 28 2005
This review is from: Rosemarys Baby (Paperback)
I came to ROSEMARY'S BABY via a rather strange route. Having just finished Jackson McCrae's novel "KATZENJAMMER," I found myself fascinated with the Ira Levin novel for reasons I'd rather not go into here, for fear of spoiling either book for you. Suffice it to say that they are companions of a sort. Both deal with the devil and environs surrounding that individual, but McCrae's book is hysterically funny whereas Levin's is totally serious. Ira Levin's novel ROSEMARY'S BABY explores that mind-boggling realm of the absolute darkness found in human nature. His depictions of evil are frighteningly real; even atheists may have trouble remaining in their state of disbelief in the good and evil supreme beings. This book is truly one that is nearly impossible to put down; it is extremely readable without seeming childish. Levin's ideas of good and evil are explained in a manner that is easy to understand, yet it is still perplexing to even the greatest of minds how such evil can be personified. Levin is truly a literary genius; this book proves it. Must also recommend THE STEPFORD WIVES.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A chilling tale!, Juil 9 2004
Par Mark Twain "Sam" (www.chismetime.com) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Rosemarys Baby (Paperback)
Ira Levin is the master of horror, conveying the dark side of ordinary everyday life in suspenseful and terrifying ways. With The Stepford Wives he took on the issue of feminism and created a pop culture phenomenon still relevant over 30 years later. Rosemary's Baby has to be one of his best novels, a dark and brooding suspense shocker about a housewife's descent into a dark world of satanic worship. To say any more would be to give away the suspense and shocks like only Levin could provide.

Rosemary is a brilliant heroine, real and emotional and it is so easy for the reader to relate. I found myself identifying with her and rooting for her to get through the madness her life takes on after moving into a popular apartment building with a history of evil. Levin slowly closes in on the horror, suffocating the reader as they try to unravel the mystery. The villians are more terrifying than any I have come across in literature because they are real people doing unreal things, which adds an effective creepiness to the story.

This is a terrific page-turner and one of the most twisted and disturbing novels I have ever read. I also like the movie, although I wish it had a darker tone like the book, but have not read the sequel, Son of Rosemary, which is supposed to be awful. It is such a short book, reading it won't take much time. This one is highly recommended.
