Sequel to Rosemary's Baby is a completely different type of book and I assume this was (is?) the reason why many people are not liking it. Unlike first book that concentrated on the small number of people and spooky location this book is concentrated on Rosemary, the mother and Andy, the son (half human and you know, half.... devil, not unlike Hellboy but with ability to better blend in). Again this is not slasher novel, there are weird accidents and deaths but what we do have is very slowly brewing story (that reads exquisitely fast) where we follow Rosemary constantly in fear and asking herself "What if?" while aware that she cannot trust anyone because if she tells them what she knows she would end up in mental hospital in express manner.

Rosemary knows what her son is but she is still his mother and she tries very hard to keep her faith in him. And Andy is like every superhuman out there, quite capable and aware of his powers and on the surface he seems to try to actually help but can he be trusted(and his feelings towards mother don't help with Andy being seen as ... a regular son I guess).

Ending is a true twist (in more ways than one) but I would not agree that it is bad. For me it is in spirit of first novel - Rosemary gets to live through Groundhog Day of her own. She is selected by someone (something?) to participate in the looong chess game and she might be unwilling pawn.

Not as good as the first imo....but, still a decent read! ( )

El hijo de Rosemary arranca en el umbral del nuevo milenio, una época en la que las esperanzas de la humanidad se ven ensombrecidas por un temor e incertidumbre crecientes y el mundo necesita más que nunca la llegada de un salvador. Es entonces - ante el brillante telón de fondo de Nueva York en 1999 - cuando Rosemary se reúne con su hijo. Y cuando se libra la batalla definitiva entre el bien y el mal; una lucha que tendrá unas consecuencias aterradoras y decisivas, no sólo para Rosemary y su hijo, sino también para toda la humanidad.

Left Behind meets Dallas. ( )

Terrible, just terrible. Not only was it poorly written, it was completely unnecessary! I can't even believe the same author wrote both of these books! AND, the end of this book basically ruins the first book! WTF? I'm just going to pretend I never read this. Maybe Satan could take me back in time... ( )
