Summary: Overrated
Comment: I was disappointed in this book. It's over-written and unrewarding, not suspenseful in the least. I also tried another of his books, Odd Thomas, and while it was better than False Memory, I won't be reading any more of Koontz' books. Stick with Stephen King -- at least he's not pretentious.

Summary: I can't believe
Comment: that I have led myself to believe in a fancy thought that Koontz might have improved himself over the years since his sophomoric works like Whispers or Voice of the Night. Alas, there is no change in this guy's pallette and I don't think will ever: His characters are worse than cartoon ones; they remind me puppets: no real human reaction, no real human act, no real human conversation; they are pathetic almost to the point of still-borns. The plotline is derivative of several former works (both by him and other guys in the arena) but you cannot feel or see any original blending or one or two mind-bending revealation injected here or there as you meet in Steven King's books. No, Dean Koontz is a stubborn writer trying to churn out non-sense making and unentertaining drivels to a drugged mass audience of his own. And I cannot even understand how once upon a time he was compared to King. I read Koontz from time to time only to relive the enjoyment of real horror masters, particularly, the old Steve, Peter Straub and Clive Barker.
The tension in this book is not much more than the tension you can get when you are watching a piece of white cheese getting mouldy. And the ending is usual Koontz trade-mark ending with all terrible features: Happy-sappy, pro-Christian, pro-American delusions worse than a Pollyanna book.
Avoid it. But you can read to see how much you can suffer (this is really a test of patience) and to appreciate real horror masters (God bless them).

Summary: Really Great Book
Comment: This book grabs your attention from the very beginning and doesn't let it go. It seemed reading the book was more important than the rest of my daily activities.
