I think most people have heard of Rosemary’s Baby, even if only because of the film, so I won’t rehash the plot points. I’ll simply say I loved this book and think it’s a must-read for any horror fan. 
•
Levin’s writing style drew me in right away. I loved his  descriptions of various characters, the dialogue, and most of all, the “looks” that Rosemary and Guy exchanged. I found myself picturing their expressions and smiling with familiarity. There are a couple hints that all isn’t as it seems, but then...

BAM. That scene.  Told with such understated ease, but one of the most terrifying possibilities I could ever imagine. It left me with a horrible feeling of unease that never truly disappeared. 
•
The book continued in slow-moving suspense that had me alternating between wanting to throttle Rosemary and help her. It would be easy to judge her as a stereotypical “damsel in distress” but keeping in mind her individual situation, and the time period of the book, I found a majority of her thoughts and actions to be quite plausible. 
•
That ending. Wow. While I felt confident in what was happening “behind-the-scenes” throughout most of the book (and that took nothing away from my enjoyment), I couldn’t predict that ending. From sentence to sentence I found myself thinking a new direction, and I never did get it right.

The short version of my rambling?  Rosemary’s Baby is unputdownable and went straight to my short-list of favorite scary stories.
