So I just finished Rosemary's Baby and like any sane person I was totally thrilled!! It was so well written I can't stop thinking about it. I'm definitely planning to watch the movie. However, I want to read the sequel: Son of Rosemary, but the reviews trash it so much that I'm not sure now :/ is it worth it for the rest of the plot or will it ruin the perfect story in my mind??? Is it worth it???

Compared to the original it's a cheesy slog, and definitely not required reading. I'd rather have re-read Rosemary's Baby.

So did you read it? What did you think??

See my review. If you pay attention to detail, you won't be disappointed. The people who gave it bad reviews because of the ending simply did not pay attention. Give it a shot and form your own opinion.

This was a sad book. Not only did I love Rosemary's Baby like you did, I enjoyed several other Ira Levin novels. When I read this, it was like falling off a cliff to the heights of the previous work. I am a completist with things I like, even as the subsequent efforts usually get worse. But this was something I just wished I had avoided. Watch the movie--it is faithful and very well done.
