Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Rosemary's Baby" was a five star classic that no one should pass up. Unfortunately, "Son of Rosemary" simply does not measure up as a sequel. The premise is unlikely and the novel simply lacks the creativity, class, and suspense of the original. Essentially, in the sequel, Rosemary, the mother of "Adrian" whose father is Satan, wakes from a coma to discover that her son is the wildly popular "Andy" who is the leader of a messianic movement in the modern-day world. The reader, of course, knows the truth. The most interesting part of the novel, to me at least, was the portrayal of what a "Christ versus Antichrist" scenario might be like in the present day, and this is, indeed, the theme of the novel.
Unfortunately, since the reader knows the truth, there is none of the suspense which made "Rosemary's Baby" such a classic (and I am not overusing that word here). Further, the story's ending is unsatisfactory and unsurprising. All in all, this is a quick read to which most readers will not return, and it leaves the reader unsatisfied albeit mildly entertained.
