Rosemary's Baby - Ira Levin
Rosmary's Baby indeed. That kid was the only interesting part of the whole book and we didn't even meet him until the last few pages. What the fuck.
To be honest, this book bored the shit out of me for at least half of it (Kat don't kill me!). I just had a really hard time identifying with the protagonist and her decisions. Maybe because it was released in the 60's and women were "different back then?" But who lets themselves be controlled like that, especially when it comes to her own health and the health of her unborn child? Ugh.
However, I also did not enjoy the jumps in the timeline of the book. Months would be skipped and no real detail put in about what happened. "Oh now I'm just 5 months prego and I love me some raw meat?" What the shit is that? Ugh.
Blah blah blah, vaguely raped by my husband in some satanic ritual in front of a bunch of old strangers while I slept, Blah.
A kid with claws, horns, a tail and crazy eyes is very awesome though. Oh, and the ending was trippy. Props for the ending, but not enough to save the book for me.
Next book please.
Ps. I have never seen the movie though I imagine that if done well it could be a LOT more interesting than the book. If anyone has seen the movie let me know what you thought of it.
pps. HAIL SATAN (ha!).
