In the story, we have four people who are connected in a very intricate way. The story puts the reader on target at the very beginning itself in the usual Dean Koontz way, & an ardent Dean Koontz reader will know, the action always begins in the first chapter itself. The sordid nature of men in power who we trust with our lives at times (if not all the time) taking us for a ride….turning us into puppets for their own disgusting pleasurable purposes is gruesome………but, it is real…….IT HAPPENS…….IT HAPPENED……….IT WILL KEEP ON HAPPENING ! As long as men are power hungry & human life is treated like a mere commodity, ‘False Memory’ can take place over & over again, across borders……….into the very depths of the human brain. He has managed to make the evil side of the imagination ‘talk’. Koontz actually through this novel, has given us a glimpse of a very morbid side of the human brain which can stoop to the most gross business possible, just to feel POWERFUL or in control……the deep dark desire inherent in all of us to control & manipulate is seen in ‘False Memory’ & …….it is seriously frightening.ĭean Koontz has done something equal to an exorcist. What is more however, is the dark recesses of the human mind that Koontz allows his reader to get his or her teeth into.

It’s a fast paced thriller with enough of shocking material to make it a must read for any reader interested in a good mystery.

The novel wraps the reader in a web of literature which makes the reader tense & agog with the happenings……I won’t be exaggerating by saying that, the novel felt a lot like a 3D Film with all the special effects courtesy of Dean Koontz who makes the scenario so impressively real &….’happening’. This is according to me the perfect analysis of not only the authors works in general but also with regard to the book ‘False Memory’. “ Not just a master of our darkest dreams but also a literary juggler” On the cover of my copy of ‘False Memory’ is a quote about the author by The Times which states that the author Dean Koontz is :
