Rating: Summary: 600 pages too long Review: Repetitive boreDog, couple, psychotic doc Whopping big surprise
Rating: Summary: More great work by Koontz Review: I usually start Koontz books with the expectation of them being very good, he didn't disapoint me. This is an exelent book. Once again Koontz has written about charactors that are believable and interesting and a subject that as frightening as it is could actually happen. I wish more authors were are good as Koontz. Psychology may never be the same after this one Dean, way to go.
Rating: Summary: I am so bummed! Review: I have been a fan of Dean Koontz for many years and I was thrilled when I saw his newest release. I was, however, bummed when I tried in vain to read it. I loved his characters, always do, but the story was impossible to get into. WAY too much detail...I know every possible potential weapon in Martie's house, how she might use it, how she tried to dispose of it...well, you get the picture. Mr. Koontz, I'm sorry but this one was not one of your best!
Rating: Summary: Thanks Carmen Review: Thanks to the last reviewer for spoiling it for the rest of us!
Rating: Summary: Koontz is an OUTSTANDING WRITER, a CHILLING Story! Review: As I started reading this 600+ pg. novel I didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as Dark Rivers of the Heart (one of his best), but I was wrong. It didn't have such an impact on me as Dark Rivers of the Heart. I found that at times False Memory was disturbing, but I still couldn't put it down. It was a surprisingly good thriller with plenty of unforgettable characters (one that you wish would DIE!) I also loved Valet. I love reading his books because the writing is always so descriptive and vivid. Just sit back and relax, and enjoy this great book. I will not be scheduling any Doctor's appointments for a while. Loved it, and hope you will too!
Rating: Summary: suspense is an understatement Review: DEAN KOONTZ DID A REMARKABLE JOB ON THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK BROUGHT OUT MANY EMOTIONS:FEAR, PAIN, GRIEF, DISGUST, RELIEF, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - SATISFACTION! THE MOST TERRIFYING THING ABOUT THIS BOOK IS THAT THE EVENTS IN "FALSE MEMORY" COULD REALLY HAPPEN IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY.
Rating: Summary: False Memory-One Book I will Remember Review: Being a die-hard Koontz fan for more than 3 years, I was thrilled to hear that he had a new release out. When I first started reading, the book immediatly had my attention, I litterally could not put it down. I was gripped by the way he peered into phobics minds, quite spooky. I was fasinated by the psychotic doctor, I mean, who would've suspected the PSYCHOLOGIST? VERY VERY GOOD KOONTZ! One more thing I'd like to say in referance to this book....The writing was good. The plot was entertaining. The characters were colorful. I enjoyed it.
Rating: Summary: False Memory- One Book I'll Remember Review: WOW! I've read most of Dean Koontz's books, and most of them were good, but this one was MAGNIFICENT! I've just become a die-hard Koontz fan. Oh, and one more thing....The writing was good. The plot was enhtertaining. I enjoyed it.
Rating: Summary: Tiresome, Tiresome, Tiresome Review: I've enjoyed Koontz's books for years, usually finishing them rapidly and recommending them to friends. Yet I could hardly get through False Memory because of its uninspired plot, overloaded scenes, tiresome detail (excessive and pointless in the extreme.) For example, does Koontz HAVE to LIST brand names,prices, adjectives, constantly? - "...Gunsmoke Dodge City playset by Marx for only $3,250, and a die-cast Johnny Lightning Custom Ferrari for only $115." Maybe he's being paid by the word? Do you think? Bottomline for me: I was very irritated by the whole thing. Very disappointing, especially as I've liked so much of his previous work.
Rating: Summary: OVERALL GOOD READ-FALSE MEMORY Review: "I did enjoy this book. The unique and superior intellect of Mr. Koontz again shows itself here.
