Customer Reviews of The Omen

Not bad.. not great
Katherine Thorn, the wife of Robert Thorn an ambassador to the US, gives birth to a child that dies. Without her knowledge, a priest recommends to Robert that he substitute another baby as theirs. A few years go by and grisly deaths begin to happen. The child's nanny hangs herself and a priest is speared to death in a freak accident. It turns out the child is the son of Satan and can only be killed with the seven daggers of Meggado.
I can't say that I agree with some of the reviews here. It was an ok book, but nothing overly special. If you've seen the movie, then I can't think of a need to read the book. I found them nearly identical.

very convincing
many extra occult details that weren't in the film make this book and the rest of the series very believable

A classic horror story, one of the best
Why great books like this go out of print I'll never know. The author brilliantly weaves a tale based around the Biblical prophesies in the Book of Revelations about the coming and birth of the Anti-Christ. The story is both chilling and suspenseful as mysterious events start happening around young Damien Thorn. You will find yourself engrossed in the material and the tension will really grip you. The dramatic ending paved the way for future Omen sequels, but this one is by far the best.
