Il aura treize ans bientôt, Damien, et lorsque ses parents adoptifs - son oncle, le très riche Richard Thom, et sa femme Ann - regardent cet adolescent heureux, gai, si beau, ils oublient sa terrible enfance, le mystère de sa naissance... Bientôt d'ailleurs une fête splendide va marquer le double anniversaire de leur fils Mark et de Damien. Deux inséparables compagnons de jeu - et de classe, à l'Académie militaire de Davidson. Cependant, au fil des jours, Damien, par instants, devient un 'autre': son regard flambe, chargé de magnétisme, une force invincible durcit ses muscles, un savoir sans limites submerge son esprit. Déchiré entre l'orgueil et l'angoisse, il s'interroge... Pourquoi ces soudains pouvoirs? Pourquoi Neff, son instructeur, lui murmure-t-il un soir qu'il découvrira qui il est dans le Livre de l'Apocalypse ? Pourquoi, si souvent, dans le champ de son regard, ce corbeau qui tourne, ailes déployées ? Dans la résidence de Lakeside, la fête joyeuse est à peine commencée qu'un invité meurt. La malédiction est en marche… sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

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* ( )
