Rosemary Woodhouse and her struggling actor husband Guy move into the Bramford, an old New York City apartment building with an ominous reputation and mostly elderly residents. Neighbors Roman and Minnie Castavet soon come nosing around to welcome the Woodhouses to the building, and despite Rosemary's reservations about their eccentricity and the weird noises that she keeps hearing, her husband takes a special shine to them.
Shortly after Guy lands a plum Broadway role, Rosemary becomes pregnant, and the Castavets start taking a special interest in her welfare. As the sickened Rosemary becomes increasingly isolated, she begins to suspect that the Castavets' circle is not what it seems...

I was anxious to read this book because of all the good reviews and the fact that I'm a horror genre junkie. This book wasn't quite what i was expecting. I found it very slow in the begining and it really didn't get interesting until the very last few chapters. Don't get me wrong, it was a great read but definately not that suspenseful.

Started reading this last night and finished it this morning. I just really really wanted to figure out what was going to happen, and it was nowhere near as suspenseful and shocking as I thought it would end up being. Still, it was a pretty good book.

Levin weaves a tale of mystery and suspense in this deeply disturbing novel that I highly reccomend. Levin's to-the-point and matter-of-fact way of writing creates a unique contrast to the deeply unsettling content of 'Rosemary's Baby.'

This is a really good book. The story-line is good and the characters are realistic. The situation is portrayed in a way that makes it seem like it could happen to anyone. It's a real achievement to make something so out-of-the-ordinary seem like a distinct possibility. It's also interesting because of some of the facets of the relationship between Guy and Rosemary and Rosemary's willingness to accept her child.

I have to say, that its an interesting book and it should be read, for the type of people, who would like to read some good interesting suspense, the theme should be that to not trust anybody, even though they seem and act nice, but behind their background, you dont really know them as well as they know themselves. Clearly outstanding book, especially for fourteen year olds, ive been reading it, and its the most book that has caught my attention, and made me read like 20-30 pages per day. Its highly recommended.

The book is suspenseful and good at points, but some of Rosemary's decisions are naive and not very believable especially as they occur in the dog eat dog world of new york city, which mars the overall force of the book. As if someone is going to wear a horrible smelling 'lucky charm' as a necklace, and drink some mystery herbal shake for months from some odd neighbors that live up stairs. Stuff like that. Actually the baby is more believable.

Wow. I just read this book recently, and it scared me just as much as William Blatty's 'The Exorcist'. Some might find the idea of Devil's Spawn or the Anti-christ unbelievable, but the writing is very realistic and convincing. This is a disturbing and suspenseful read. A must-read for all horror fans!

This book is awesome. I finished the book in three days when normally it takes me a month or so. Once you pick it up, you can't put it down. Not terrifying but more haunting.

This story all comes together perfectly. Not exactly scary, but this book has no mistakes. No spelling mistakes, no typos (i. e. 'The Godfather'), no plot holes, and no plot mistakes. Perfect. I read it in a week and it usually takes me a long time to read a book.

The A modern tale of deviltry in 1960s New York City, based on where evil is as close as your new neighbors is absolutely chilling. It estranged itself from the blood and gore of most ordinary horror stories and revolved around mounting tension, surrounding a blissful wife unsure about her pregnancy, and is face-to-face with good and evil at the stories shocking ending. A terrifying and gaudy book, a classic in the horror literature.
