And as is sometimes rarely the case when dealing with audioboks from the public library, none of the casettes were damaged and so I was able to read the entire book. I picked up False Memory back in the spring of '06 I believe, courtesy of the Twin Falls public library.

Murder (also read by Sanders), to Hideaway, Watchers, Midnight and others. From there I progressed to titles such as Mr. Sanders narrated audio rendition of Dragon Tears back in 1993, when I was thirteen. I've been hooked on the works of Dean Koontz since my mother introduced me to the J. It's the journey that counts and this is a MASTERPIECE In my opinion, this 700 + books is merely about 50 pages too long and he should have taken it out of the last third, but who am I. This book will split the critics down the middle one more time, as they will love or hate it, this one is more complex (like 'the face'), and less linear than for example 'the husband'. The listener will get over-compensated for a not so spectacular beginning. The plot unfolds a bit slow at the beginning, but this time there is a method to the (descriptive) madness. The characters are extremely likeable, a former weakness of Koontz, and just a certain form of 'literature' that shows up again and again throughout the book shows, Koontz still has a deep, playful passion for writing and the fact that he is kind of a mass producer does not take away from the quality at all. The way Koontz ties up the loose ends are brilliant, tongue-in-cheek and even good for a laugh.

While I do not want to spoil anything here, let's just say that the evil force behind it all has been fleshed out in *creative* (the key-word to the book) detail, keeping the listender mesmerized and literally sweaty handed.

However, I would have to contain myself not to call this book the work of genius. Is the book too long? Sure it is, Koontz-novels almost always are. While some argue that the book is too long, I think that everybody who brings an appreciation for creativity to the book, will fall in love with this one, leave alone the suspense. The audio book breaks down pretty much in 3 seven hour parts and I can honestly say that the middle part represents the strongest I have come about in the thriller-genre. This book, together with 'The face' ranks among my top 3 Koontz-books, absolutely world-class. First of all, congratulations to Stephen Lang, for doing such a superb job with the book, I enjoyed him the second time now, he also reads 'by the light of the moon' by Dean Koontz.
