Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
I loved it! It’s a slow burn & “nothing” really happens for quite a while but the scariest parts to me were how slowly & insidiously Rosemary was being abused (mentally, emotionally, physically) by nearly everyone she knew. Terrifying. Never saw the movie so was glad to read the book in a fresh light.
