I have read quite a number of books now by Dean Koontz and enjoyed most of them. Besides some of his earlier work, the only major disappointment to me was Fear Nothing (so much so, that I haven't dared read the sequel yet; I mean, as a person who hates dogs I can only stand so many books about clever canines...; besides, the book read as a major rush job). So it was a pleasant surprise that False Memory was so gratifying. The book is full of warm characters in the typical Koontz-style and the familiar wonderful humor (where else can you find a sadistic killer complain about self-mutilation (i.e. piercings etc.) being the rage today?).

The story is wonderful and well written. OK, it is a tad long and there are the usual metaphors that sometimes work and sometimes just distract or annoy. The idea behind the story works very well, and I just can't understand the reader complaining about reading 'who did it' after just 200 out of 600 pages. I mean: in case you didn't notice, it is not a whodunit!!! Actually, the book wouldn't have worked nearly as well and turned out a major disappointment if the question who did it all was kept hidden till the last couple of pages.

For me, the book was a very enjoyable read and kept me really looking forward to his new book. Hopefully, it won't feature another smart dog...

This is an incredible novel. Dean Koontz has an astounding imagination, a wonderful attention to detail, a terrific talent for suspense and surprises. He also has a sweetly sensitive side.

This book held my attention captive, and caused me to laugh and cry. Mr. Koontz weaves a tale about mind control, psychology, intense love and a demented character. Read this book only if you are sure you don't have a tendency to become paranoid! The author has a knack for bringing new thoughts into your head!

In this novel, Martie and Dusty are fighting for their very minds and eventually their lives! As they struggle through the fog of their minds and the minimal clues they have acquired, you will feel you are working with them to discover the truth and expose the enemy for the evil that he is. Mr. Koontz also has a beautiful way of developing his characters and making you love them and feel their emotions and fears.

This is a fast paced novel with action, suspense, twists, and psychology that will force you to use your brain to figure out what is going on!

The summary on the back cover intrigued me. When I started reading, it was torture to put the book down! I enjoyed this novel very much and highly recommend it. Don't hesitate - purchase it now!

This is probably the most explicit Koontz novel I've read. I hated the first third of this book as it was almost to sinister and disgusting to read. It was more painful and gut wrenching than entertaining. I almost put the book down when it detailed someone committing rape. In spite of it's awful beginning, the book got better.

I don't think there has been a more evil villian in a Koontz novel than this one. The way Koontz describes his sinfulness down to his every thought is the amazing writing you've come to expect in his novels. And like many of his novels, the ending is clutch. These aspects made the book a worthy read.
