AWESOME! Couldn’t put it down. It was so creepy. The thought that hypnosis by a psychiatrist could be done and that all the things that he programmed to do could be done, freaked me out.

Back and forth from different perspectives which are all set at, what feels like, different times even though they are all simultaneous.

There's something to be said for a book of which you can only read a handful of pages at a time.

This is the second novel that I’ve read from Koontz and the second 5 star review he has received.

This novel is captivating from the very beginning, and it stays that way through all 750 pages. 

False Memory features one of the worst (in a good way 🤔😅) antagonists that I’ve ever read, and it is an absolute must-read for any psychological-thriller fan.

I’m very excited to continue reading more of Koontz work!

For the size and it not being a YA - it was surprisingly easy to read. Lots of twists and turns.
