I won't remember much of Dean Koontz's False Memory

by dramastef dramastef is a Lead on Epinions in Books, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 02 '02
Pros: Koontz wrote it. Good character development.
Cons: Too long. Too over the top. Didn't grip me the way his other novels do.
I enjoy most of Dean Koontz's novels, but had a hard time getting through False Memory without rolling my eyes so much I gave myself a headache. I read an interview Mr. Koontz gave where he said he was first afraid he wouldn’t be ...

Find Out Why Martie Was Afraid of Herself in False Memory

by dragonfire88 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Sep 24 '01
Pros: Engrossing story. I couldn't put it down. Scary
Cons: It may be too long for some people
A few years ago I was telling a friend about a book I had just read and really enjoyed. He told me that the plot sounded similar to some books by Dean Koontz, and suggested I try some of his books since I liked the book I was talking about so much. ...

False Memory by Dean Koontz Just Didn't Ring True

by AliventiAsylum Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Aug 24 '01
Pros: good villain
Cons: felt like I'd read this before, disappointing ending
Dean Koontz and Stephen King have always been in competition to be my favorite author. I think after reading this book, King definitely took the lead. False Memory is a book that left me feeling like I had bought a book that I'd read ...

False Memory, by Dean Koontz

by cdm72 cdm72 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Books, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 16 '03
Pros: Some great tension and suspense at the beginning.
Cons: All suspense is quickly thrown out the window.
The writing was good, the plot was entertaining, the characters were colorful. I enjoyed it.

That's an inside joke; if you've read this book, you got it. If you haven't read it, save yourself the 21 1/2 hours and just get on with your life....

Much more than a "False Memory"

by kld718, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jul 20 '02
Pros: unique story line, semi-love story wrapped into horror and suspense, character development
Cons: confusing, plot not concrete
*Note: This review was one of the first reviews that I had written when I began at epinions around June of 2001. I have recently revised it because I was just not happy with it. Thank you to those that had rated it in it’s first version.

What You Don't Know - Can Kill You

by JustCathy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 11 '01
Pros: A real page turner. Koontz has a flair for suspense.
Cons: The plot is a bit unrealistic - but none the less worth reading.
Having recently completed the best selling novel - False Memory - by Dean Koontz, this reader was instantly taken aback by Koontz' ability to create such believable characters behind a surreal and terrifying plot.

Martine Rhodes, the novel's...

False Memory - Not a Memorable Book at All

by amykhar Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 04 '01
Pros: interesting plot concept
Cons: With Koontz's formulaic characters and forced plot, this book simply never takes off.
What if an author of a book that you reviewed on Epinions didn’t like your review? Would he attempt to exact revenge? Would he try to kill you and your entire family? Probably not. But he might.

What about me? What if I don’t like the way...

Entertaining and engaging

by sephiroth2000 , Mar 04 '01
Pros: Excellent writing and plot
Cons: Too overdrawn at parts


Extremely well written, a highly recommended book, however there were minor drawbacks. Prior to reading this book I had read 3 other books by Koontz, A Key To Midnight, Dragon Tears, and Intensity, all of which I really enjoyed. So recently I...

If you want to satisfy your Big Mac attack

by sampo24 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 08 '00
Pros: Fun story, a couple good twists
Cons: Some typical Koontz formulas rehashed, cartoon-like characters
Dean Koontz has never struck me as one of the great writers of our generation. He never has anything really deep or profound to say and his stories are generally pretty formulaic. However, I keep finding myself picking up his books and reading...

False Memory -- a Memorable Read

by stereotomy , Apr 15 '00
Pros: great characters, intricate plotline, chilling ideas
Cons: None
I've never considered Dean Koontz a very good writer. Now don't get me wrong -- I'm an avid Koontz fan, and I've probably read 90% of the books he's authored. But in my experience, there are good writers, and there are good storytellers, and rarely...

"False Memory" gave me false hope

by RayneStorm , Feb 23 '01
Pros: Interesting storyline.
Cons: Story seemed to drag. Found some inconsistencies.
I have been a fan of Dean Koontz for a few years now. During the past year, I have read many of his releases, as many as I could get my hands on from my local second hand bookstore. But in doing so, I found that I was almost able to predict each...

Koontz best ever!

by 3BCoach , Aug 26 '00
Pros: Brilliant story, didn't want it too end.
Cons: It ended.

The greatest lie the Devil ever told was convincing the world he didn't exist. Most of you know that quote from a famous movie, but the question is, why did I use it to open my review? Because I believe it goes a long way toward explaining...

Be afraid, be very afraid ... of yourself!

by bgardner , Mar 02 '00
Pros: Fast-paced, scary
Cons: Sometimes overwritten
Do you know how many common, everyday objects can be used to commit mayhem? You will by the time you finish this novel.

In FALSE MEMORY, Dean Koontz takes into a different kind of horror, the evil and despair that can be found only inside the...

Eyeball Preserves, Control and Kinky Sex

by thessa , Aug 29 '01
Pros: Periodically interesting, occasionally wonderfully bizarre and slightly kinky.
Cons: Excessively long; unbelievable storyline; misleading description on back cover.
So that title grabbed your eye, but what's it about anyway? You'll have to read the book to find out! The title of my review is a more accurate description of the book's storyline than is the title "False Memory". The description on the back cover of...

Too scary to read alone

by michellebcn , Jan 06 '00
Pros: a true psychological thriller- convincing
Cons: a bit more disjointed than his other works
Dean Koontz does it again. His writing manages to scare you to the point where you need to get a reality check during the scariest scenes and make sure the rest of your world is still pretty normal while the characters go spiraling through incredibly...
