Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin

 


🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Wicked Witchy Spooky" Stars


Do You Really Know Who Your Neighbors Are?

A small taste of what lies within:

Guy and Rosemary Woodhouse move into an old apartment building called the Bramford which has a somewhat seedy and mysterious past. The neighbors, Roman and Minnie Castevet take a great interest in Rosemary and Guy to the point that they all become quite close however when Rosemary has a weird dream about rituals in her apartment is when she wonders if it was all real.  

When Rosemary becomes pregnant is when things begin to escalate as Roman and Minnie become more attentive to the needs of Rosemary and would do anything to make sure that she is comfortable. Rosemary begins to wonder if they are really concerned for her welfare or are they after something else? 

That is about all I can hand out with a small taste so if you are intrigued and want to know more then go read this book! 

Thoughts:

I had read this book many years ago back in the early 90's but it has been so long ago that I didn't remember any of the story so it was like I had read it again for the first time. 

This book was one creepy ride into the occult zone though I didn't realize that the occult was really involved until further into the story as the author makes everything subtle and mild weaving a suspenseful mystery of what is taking place within the Bramford. 

The pace of the story moves fast and I had a hard time putting this book down as I just wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next! I became so involved in the story that I was up till the early morning hours as the book picks up speed after the 50% mark so I just wanted to keep reading. I can see why this is considered a classic horror story as it just kept me in a state of suspense, mystery, and creepiness!
