Considered one of the great dystopian novels - alongside Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange and Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World - Ira Levin's frightening glimpse into the future continues to fascinate listeners even 40 years after publication. The story is set in a seemingly perfect global society. Uniformity is the defining feature; there is only one language and all ethnic groups have been eugenically merged into one race called "The Family".

Holland is bold and mischievous, a bad influence, while Niles is kind and eager to please, the sort of boy who makes parents proud. The Perrys live in the bucolic New England town their family settled centuries ago, and as it happens, the extended clan has gathered at its ancestral farm this summer to mourn the death of the twins' father in a most unfortunate accident.

Here Be Witches
Mia Farrow does a fine job of narrating this novel, as well as putting her own spin on the various characters' voices. Her performance of Minnie Castevet is a highlight--she manages to make her sound simultaneously comical and frightening. Despite having seen the film many times, it was great fun to listen to this audiobook and to picture oneself in poor Rosemary's shoes: Is she suffering from a pregnancy-induced paranoia, or are these neighbors of hers part of a witch's coven?

As a huge fan of the film, I was thrilled that it was faithful to the book. The tension builds slowly and with increasing anxiety. Quite effective!! Mia Farrow delivers a stellar performance.

What not to expect when you're expecting
Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby is a classic horror tale of a young, recently married woman who becomes increasingly suspicious that her neighbors and eventually her husband are all part of Satanic cult. The tale unfolds innocently from the typical ups and downs of a young married couple struggling to make it in New York. While all the clues are in full view, Levin teases ever so slowly the denouement with Rosemary always offering alternative explanations for increasingly bizarre behaviors. Ultimately, maternal instincts win out.
Levin crafts a slow burn story such that reader may be inclined to scream at Rosemary to be wary, but she is always falling back onto rational explanations, all the while, the inescapable conclusion is becoming more and more apparent.
Given her starring role in the film adaptation, Mia Farrow is perfect as the narrator with not only a professional actress' talent, but her extensive familiarity with the material making for a delightful listen. Although surprisingly short, the plot is neither rushed nor sparse.

Well Written, Great Fun
I liked this audio book. The narrator, who also starred in the movie, does a great job. The story is 70's horror fun. Well written. Story about a witches coven living in an apartment building and they want Rosemary's baby. You've probably seen the old movie but the book is much better. Spooky and a little weird and good listen!!!!!!

Mia Farrow Breathes New Life Into Levin's Baby
I used to give full credit for the wonder of the film version of Ira Levin's, "Rosemary's Baby," to Roman Polanski alone. Now having heard Mia Farrow's narration, I am , for the first time, able to really enjoy the book. Levin's book always seemed to me to be the barest of bones, and left me, like so many horror novels, feeling dissatisfied in the extreme.
Well, my hat is off to Mia Farrow, who manages to bring enough of her Rosemary Woodhouse magic to give this thin volume much more excitement than I ever thought it could have. To me, it is like a different book; a book I now look forward to listening to again. I now actually feel quite enthusiastic about it. If you are considering downloading this, please do...don't bother with the print edition. Let Mia Farrow charm you and run away with your imagination. In my humble opinion, she elevates this to the highest level it will ever reach, off the screen. What a delight!

Great Horror Classic
This book is so real and so well written that I can just imagine myself watching the book instead of just listening to it. Ira Levin is one of my favorite authors and with good reason - The Stepford Wives, A Kiss Before Dying. All of these books were made into movies and the movies were as good as the books.
The fun thing is the narrator being Mia Farrow and also starring in the movie. Makes this even better because she acts the book.
Worth the credit or the dollars. Great read, great listen, great movie.
