Even more so than The Stepford Wives, the book is pretty much a mirror of the film's plot, with the exception of a brief trip that Rosemary makes to Hutch's cabin (which doesn't feature in the film). I was impressed at how much more concise the book is than the film, but both feel equally weighty and intricate.Â

- Levin's style never disappoints me
- Engaging and well-paced
Cons:
- Storyline is very similar to Stepford Wives but with
Satan worshippers instead of robots - Pulanski's film is pretty much a shot-for-shot equivalent, which is not Levin's fault (actually it's pretty impressive), but there weren't many surprises
