Pros

  • It is not equally good but I found it fun and silly

Cons

  • It’s bad. So bad I thought it was written under duress.
  • I was fine with the book until the ending. It pissed me off enough to never read it again.
  • I read SON OF ROSEMARY last year and yes, while it's not good, it felt like a guilty pleasure read because it was interesting to re-visit the characters and situation of the original.
  • Bro it’s taking everything in me not to read Son of Rosemary. *Everyone* says the same thing about it.
  • Do not read “son of rosemary”! It’s sooo bad!

Parent context: I’ve read it. I wish I hadn’t read it. Still makes me irritated to think about it. Reply: It was a fun ride, not as great as the original, but once that ending hit, i was so annoyed.

To me it was horrible. I try not to judge Levin on that one failure as I love all of his other stuff.

It's the worst book I've ever read, and I recommend it to everyone because it's so wild how bad it is that I need other people to experience it too.
