False Memory

Rating:
Summary: A real Thriller
Review: This is a great book one of Koontz best. Koontz has done it again in another suspense thriller. The detail involved puts you in the characters' state of mind if they can even control their own.
In False Memory, Martie, her husband Dusty and just about everyone else she knows is being controlled by an egotistical psychiatrist. The idea of mind control had just been an idea to Martie and Dusty until it hits home, and they realize what was done. Susan, Martie's best friend commits suicide but believes there's more to the story that's when the real trouble starts. In a journey spanning from southern California to New Mexico, the doctor is always on top of them. Whether they are trying to piece together the puzzle. They travel to New Mexico to discover the psychiatrist past and end up in the middle of a dangerous game while trying to protect Skeet Dusty's younger brother. I don't want to spoil the endding but if you've read Koontz work before than you can pretty much guess the endding.
This book is filled with memorable characters and places. The detail proves once again just how powerful Dean Koontz work truly is. If you love suspense and thrill this book will take you to the edge of your seat. I also recommend Watchers and Odd Thomas both by Dean Koontz also.

Summary: Sorry, but I didn't really like it.
Review: What I did like (a little) was the characters. To me the story was too much like a hollywood movie. Specifically the scenes with the two assasins in... New Mexico? And like mentioned in another post, too much time describing shadows and bushes.

Summary: Another great Dean Koontz novel
Review: This is Dean Koontz' most chilling book yet. False Memory makes the reader wonder just how far anyone is from insanity! This book was so creepy at first, I had to read a few pages, then put it down, then read a few, etc. But after the plot developed further, I wasn't able to put it down.

Don't start this book alone! You'll want someone to hug after the first few pages!

My only critique, is that after the first third of the novel, "the hunt" takes a slower pace than I would have liked. I would have preferred that the suspense of the actual plot had been held out longer, although this may have made the novel too scary to read!
