Rosemary's Baby - Not what I expected...

After being told by many (three) people that 'Rosemary's Baby' was a good/scary book I decided to raid my local library to see for myself. I've never seen the movie, but books are usually better anyway, unfortunately at this point it may have actually been worth watching instead. I was looking forward to creepy happenings, think 'Poltergeist', and maybe a few demonic possession scenes, but no. Nothing. The only weird thing that happens is when Rosemary gets pregnant in the nightmare/ceremony/whatever where the stalker old people stand around naked holding black candles...which, while worthy of nightmares in itself, is *not* cool for a scary book. Or any book for that matter. Other than the weird nightmare scene its just a whole bunch of old people convincing a gullible pregnant person not to ask questions. She innocently agrees and endure about seven months of non-stop pain. Sadly, she basically believes everything anyone tells her till the last month or so of her pregnancy, which is when she finds out how many people are in the cult. No witch coven extends *that* far. How could ONE coven (cult) take over an entire city of people? Hutch (Rosemary's outside father-figure who is suspicious of the cult people) dies, which is practically the high point of the book, but even that is glossed over and ignored for the most part. You would think someone would notice random people who say there's a cult dying off. You would also assume that would make someone wonder, 'Hmmmm maybe they were right and this really *is* some coven of witch people'. At the end, when you finally get the promise of action and conflict, Rosemary gets sucked into the cult-people's group and everything ends very anticlimactically. The author builds up this whole ending sequence by having her sneak through a secret passage holding a butcher knife ready to kill A) the demon spawn and B) the nutjobs who got her pregnant with the aforementioned evil child, but then she sees the baby and drinks some tea (which is implied to be cursed or something) and decides to just be the baby's mother. She sits there and rocks the baby in it's emo basket and the book ends. Nobody dies, nobody does anything. *sigh*

Ending points:
+ Creepy Idea
+ Semi-good last chapter
+ Good plot twists/Character Reveals
- No actually scary scenes
- Lack of Action
- You may be endlessly frustrated with the level of gullibility Rosemary shows throughout the book
