Title: Manchurian Memories
Review: Anyone familiar with The Manchurian Candidate has a leg-up on this book, from the start. It's not giving anything away to say so, because the book itself makes it pretty apparent early on.This is essentially the much better version of Koontz's earlier Night Chills. A number of people in a given area begin displaying bizarre, atypical, destructive behavior. Of course, they all have something in common. That something is what the hero of the piece has to discover - and put an end to.A very involving read, though it has a shaky beginning. Koontz's characters, especially his psychopathic villain, are typically well-drawn. There are some nice comic touches, throughout.This is one of Koontz's few good books of the last several years. Nothing new, really, but at least he's back in the saddle with this one, and not exploring quasi-scientific metaphysics. False Memory is just a good, straightforward Koontz thriller.
