    About this audiobook

    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.

      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...

      I found this book in the bargain bin at a grocery store. I liked Rosemary's Baby a lot when I read it in about 1969 so thought this sequel would be good. It was maybe the worst book I have ever read. It seemed like Levin forgot how to write.

      This is the sequel to Rosemary’s Baby, but 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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Very disappointing ending. Not sure how it should have ended, but... not a good ending. Interesting to a point, but disappointing in the end.

      I felt it was a little slower than the first book despite being half as long but it rapidly picks up pace culminating in an ending M Night Shyamalan would die for.

      Why o why did the author felt the need to destroy his best book and heroine?
    • 1/5
      Worst sequel I've ever had the misfortune of listening to. Would give it negative 5 stars if possible.
