Zeven jaar zijn verstreken na de dood van ambassadeur Robert Thorn en zijn vrouw. Niemand kent de waarheid. Damien, de Antichrist, is niet Thorns zoon, maar heeft de plaats ingenomen van hun doodgeboren kind. Hij is inmiddels opgenomen in het gezin van Richard en Ann Thorn, zijn oom en tante. In het wereldwijde concern van zijn oom gebeuren bizarre, dodelijke ongelukken. Een journaliste die in contact probeert te komen met Thorn wordt aangevallen door een mysterieuze zwarte raaf. Een onschuldig partijtje ijshockey ontaardt in een drama. Wat is hierin de rol van Damien? Wie is hij? Zij die het vermoeden, leven niet lang genoeg om het uit te spreken. Zij die het weten, beschermen hem, opdat de eeuwenoude voorspelling in vervulling gaat.

Geen... Wat ik me herinner is dat ik het boek gelezen had nadat ik er films van heb gezien. De films waren soms beangstigend, maar soms ook gewoon om te lachen. Maar toen ik het boek las, was ik verbaast, want mijn fantasie ging er met meer vandoor dan alleen de scene's van de film. Soms zag ik de scene voor me maar er waren ook momenten dat mijn fantasie zelf iets invulde. Het boek is bijna een op een van de film, maar toch ook anders. Maar hoe ik het zou beoordelen is op het moment niet te zeggen.

This is an older book penned in the late 70's. I've always been a rabid fan of the Omen trilogy (I leave out the abominable fourth), and have over the years located the original movie-to-book adaption. When I saw this one I also had to have it to follow continuance in book form. Interestingly this book had advertisements for cigarettes in the center, which I haven't even seen before in books older than it.
Anyway, if you're familiar with the movie, you already know the book's story, for of course it closely follows the film's form, almost word-for-word. Damien is almost thirteen and about to come of age to where he inherits the bulk of his power and the realization of what he is. He has .. accomplices along the way to guide him to the right realization and protection, as in the first movie/book. There are some minor inclusions in written form where the movie didn't have , such as the two minions getting a mark they've been waiting for, and more explanation on the aunt turning bad toward the end. With the movie I always figured she was basically on Damien's side all along and hiding it, but with the book it wasn't that way. Hmmm not sure if it was supposed to be like that with the movie too or not.
I wish they could have included more...I mean, there's a wealth of scenarios out there, and the book is a bit short, but I suppose they try to follow the film as much as possible.
As an adaption from a movie, it's good if you're a fan. Amazon describes the authors as : by Joseph Howard (Adapter), Stanley Mann (Author), Michael Hodges (Author), Harvey Bernhard (Author). The writing is easy to follow and addictive to read, while the story is as interesting as the movie's was. Sadly we can't include the great Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack here though, *sighs*

As with the first book in the series, I love this book. I've read it several times and it never gets boring. A fantastic read.
Such a quick read. I loved the first book and the story of Damien, the Anti Christ and I am so excited to find out where the rest of his story goes. A true evil exists
had to read it... praise be to the original omen. not a bad sequel
