If (like me) you have read "Rosemarys Baby" and were enchanted by the clever writing, sympathetic characters (all of them, even the bad guys) and great plot twists, you will doubtless (like me) eagerly await this sequel.
DON'T read it !
This book is poorly written, with one dimensional characters, cliched plot devices and rehashed events from the first novel. Mr Levin is capable of so much more, as anyone who has read "Stepford Wives" and "Boys from Brazil" can testify.
That said, "Son of Rosemary" could at least be written off as a poor and unnecessary sequel - bad, but not unforgiveable (think of all those "Elm Street" movies), were it not for the fact that it completely betrays the original classic in an ending that a primary school child would be ashamed of.
I feel that we have been short changed by an author who is capable of so much more. If you haven't read "Rosemarys Baby" yet, I highly recommend it - but please, please avoid "Son of Rosemary" like the devil himself.

The idea of a sequel to 'Rosemary's Baby' is rich with horrific, delicious possibility. How could Levin ever top that masterpiece which ended so cataclysmically and tantalising with the birth of the AntiChrist? Levin fans will be sure, as I was, that he can do it, because let's face it, he hasn't disappointed us yet. But somehow, sadly, this sequel is a spectacular misfire - a woefully unworthy partner to, and ultimately a shameful mockery of, the first instalment. Everything about it is quite quite awful. Apart from a cunning stunt in a department store, this lacks Levin's usual jet black wit and the plot drags inconsequentially towards possibly the most appalling climax ever committed to paper. In all his other novels, Levin has delivered us a devastating blow, but fans just simply won't believe the twist he's resorted to here...although it's not worth finding it out for yourself, it's just too painful to divulge. Stick with the original...although Levin has hitherto been a stunning thriller writer, leaving the future of the AntiChrist to OUR imagination at the end of 'Rosemary's Baby' is now, sadly, the best thing he never did.

I really wish I had taken heed and NOT read this book! The plot is a joke, the supposed anti-christ is about as scary as David Ike and the ending is like a bad episdode of 'Dallas'!
If you have read Rosemary's Baby then under no circumstances should you read this book! Mr Levin, you should be ashamed of yourself.
