Not Bad

It wasn't as bad as some reviewers had reported. The relationship between mom and son becomes very disturbing at times. I liked the ending quite a bit, but I would've liked the author to have explained what happened to Guy. While we find out what happens to everyone else from the first book, Guy is completely ignored. Overall a good story.

Not as good as Rosemary’s Baby

But few sequels are. If you are a fan of the first book it’s worth reading. It was a very quick read for me.

Awesome

I like the narrative voice changing from male to female and it was great storytelling subperb

it was weird but I liked it

the story was good a little weird but good. Not as good as the first book but I still liked it.

Fantastic Performance!

Nicole Poole elevates narration to an art form, which this fine novel certainly is worthy of. I am particularly in awe of her ability to embody multiple characters with many genders, races, and aspects with such ease.

The lesser of Rosemary

Nicole Poole graces us with a wonderful narration of Son of Rosemary in this audio book. Unfortunately this title will not be as memorable as the prequel as the story becomes rather boring and has few twists, no exactly what Ira Levin is known for. However, this sequel gives closure to the first novel, so if you've read the first, its best to read (or listen to) the second as well.

If you’re a fan of the first book, it’s a trip down memory lane

I did like the premise and was okay with not knowing until the last chapter what was happening. But in the last 5 minutes of the narration…pretty good then a bit disappointing.

Wow what a disappointment - lazy writing

I LOVED Rosemary's baby, Book & even the movie. I was so excited when I saw the sequel coming to audible. I had just finished Dr. Sleep (king) and I guess I was hoping this sequel would be just as good..............uh NO. I can't really tell you why it was so bad without giving away the ending & pretty much the entire premise of BOTH books. Lets just say the author turns the entire book Rosemary's Baby & Son of Rosemary into the biggest, annoying "no no" that any author can do. Lazy. Not only did he ruin Son of Rosemary but the first book as well Good Grief. Great writing but horrible horrible ending that ruined both books. Levin could have gone in so many other directions. The narration was wonderful, the book fast paced & as always he did a great job with the characters. Just lost his imagination in the end.................I think I'd rather watch an episode of "Dallas" lol.

Surprise

The ending is the saving grace of this book! The narrator should have been a male voice!
Rosemary was too unbelievable!

luv it

awesome story luv it. read book too. I do like when voices changes the reader reads the book
