A review by storyorc
Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin

dark emotional tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Would have appreciated it if Rosemary cottoned on a little sooner so as to shrink the stage of the book where we're painfully aware of the danger looming over her and she isn't. Quite gripping in the last third once she starts playing the game, however, and a delicious ending.
