Jeremy Thorn and his wife, Katherine, have just welcomed the newest member of their family to the world: Their beautiful son Damien. But as the boy grows, so does the terror surrounding him. Fatal accidents, suicides, and unexplained violence seem to follow the Thorns wherever they go - but why? And how can Damien have anything to do with the carnage and bloodshed? He is only a child. But Damien Thorn is like no child on Earth. He bears the mark of the beast. And his time is at hand.

This audiobook edition is narrated by Holly Palance, who starred in David Seltzer's The Omen in 1976.

This is going to be brave or stupid. Listening to this Audible reading at night before going to sleep.

This is a reasonably straight forward adaptation of the movie. If you've seen the movie as often as I have, then this is easy listening as I can be distracted and still catch up.

But, despite above being factual, that's doing the writing and narration a disservice. David Seltzer provides good background and rounds off the characters and situation in a true novel style. The narrator Holly Palance does a good job making the words live.

the book follows the plot of the movie really well with a few minor details changed and we get more background information about the priest that gets impaled as well as a more in depth explanation of Katherine thornes issues

always loved the movie but the book is even better

For U.K. listeners the reader’s attempt at British accents in this reading could do with a bit of work! I’m not sure where Americans get their ideas of (in this case) English accents. They seem to think they are a mix of Dick van Dyke cockney and Julie Andrews! Really odd sound! They also contract ‘E’ and ‘I’ sounds for some reason. In The Omen there are a variety of British characters of different class backgrounds but this is not reflected in the reading. Mrs Baylock seems to have a mix of accents from The Republic of Ireland and Scotland - one minute she seems to come from Dublin, the next Edinburgh! I’d be happy to tutor any American reader in English accents (not Welsh, Scottish or accents from the island or Ireland).

Great reader.. but
