About this audiobook
The classic novel of spellbinding suspense only the mind of Ira Levin could have imagined
She is a housewife—young, healthy, blissfully happy. He is an actor—charismatic and ambitious. The spacious, sin-filled apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side is their dream home—a dream that turns into an unspeakable nightmare...
Enter the chilling world of Ira Levin—where terror is as near as your new neighbors... and where evil wears the most innocent face of all...

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Like most people I saw the film numerous times but had never read the book. I’m glad I decided to.
At first I had to adjust to Mia Farrows narration style but after chapter 2 or 3 I realized no one else would be right for the part. Her voice hasn’t changed a bit since she played the starring role in the film 50 years ago and she read it with the same soft innocence, fear and passionate anger she brought to the screen. I loved this presentation.2 people found this helpful

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Incredible novel. I was scared for Rosemary through the entire book. Last, but not least, Mia Farrow's story-telling was an amazing element that strongly helped bring the book to life.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The reading is excellent. You can really hear and feel Rosemary's desperation to figure out what's going on around her. The writing is fantastic. It definitely reads like a mystery with little bits of information peppered in. It makes me want to listen to it twice to see what I missed the first time around.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the first book in the horror genre that I actually enjoyed.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this book after hearing about it for years, I can't wait to read the second book to find out what happens as time goes on for them. Loved the narration and was very fitting seen as Mia was the lead in the movie.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was such a great read. The narrator made Minni sound like Jennifer Cooledge lol. The narrator also did a fantastic job portraying Rosemary. Will read again!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Watched the movie ages ago and I remember not liking it too much. The book, on the other hand, was extremely enjoyable. Also, the reading was one of the best i have ever heard and the minimal sound effects were also very enjoyable.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is as creepy and disturbing as it was when I read it the first time thirty years ago.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Uau!
Que incrível. A narração da Mia foi perfeita.
A história é cativante e sinistra, intensa o tempo todo, não tem um segundo da narração em que você não sente a tensão do que tá acontecendo.
Vale muito a pena ouvir esse audiobook. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Such a classic story with great buildup. However, I was disappointed with its ending. Seems a little rushed, like the author had enough of its story and needed to end it.
Not quite as satisfying as I hoped it would be.
Needless to say, this is still a classic and is worth the read. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Mia's voice was beautiful. Awesome she narrated this. Well done! Loved it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my favorite horror novels of all time! This person does a phenomenal job narrating it!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent novel that manages to grow tension without stretching it before the final reveal
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Mia Farrow is the worst book narrator ever. So so bad
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A superb atmospheric read. I love the creepiness of the building and it’s tenants. Can’t wait to read the second book!
