Why read it?

1 author picked False Memory as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The author of this book did an incredible job of using a horrifying villain and shocking moments to showcase the power of identity and the struggles that can come from not knowing your own identity. I feel the power of the mind and how the manipulations of others cause these moments of self-doubt and mistrust are crucially tied to the theme of identity.

From Anthony's list on thriller books that question identity.
