It's been a while since I read that book – I think I read at last when I was writing a chapter on the film for my MA dissertation – and remember finding there is slightly more information in the novel, but I don't think it has the same atmosphere, tension and sense of dread as in Polanski's film. Mind you, I also read The Stepford Wives (I analysed the films – The Exorcist and The Omen were the other two – from a feminist perspective) so my memories of the Ira Levin novels are a little crazy.
