False Memory
On his twelfth birthday, Shane Simmons stared through the lens of a small telescope observing the illumination of the full Moon. The view was spectacular; he saw the crater-laden surface with perfect clarity. That was until Shane watched the Earth’s satellite disappear right in front of his eyes.
The Moon’s disappearance was something the 12-year-old would never forget for the remainder of his life, and the rest of the world would never be able to remember.
What happened to the Moon, and why couldn’t people recall the fact it once existed in Earth’s sky?
Why did the entire world’s population, except for Shane, have a false memory about one of the most recognizable objects previously known to human beings?

This is a short sci-fi novella. I found this book very interesting, and it had so much put into a short book. I have to say that this book is very thought-provoking on what the government could do if they really wanted to do it. I do not read a lot of science fiction books, so I cannot say if this is like other science fiction book. All I can say is I enjoyed the characters and the plot/storyline in this book. This book had so much put into only 73 pages. It blows my mind how much the author got done in a very short book. I won a kindle copy of this book from Goodreads giveaway, and this review is 100% my own opinion about how I feel about the book. (*)

Thought provoking
I received this book today as a Goodreads giveaway for Kindle but the opinion is my own 100%.
I opened it to read the description and the next thing I knew I was lost. I couldn't put it down till I discovered what happened to the moon. I really enjoyed it. This book is perfect for many of the conspiracy theorists out in the world, especially those that don't believe in the moon landing actually happened. I can't say I am one of those people but I enjoyed the story very much, especially the ending.

False Memory is a book about the life of Shane Simmons who ever since his twelfth birthday has been tormented by his memory of the Earth's Moon. The problem is that Shane is the only person on the planet who remembers the Moon - everybody else has a false memory of there never being a satellite that belonged to Earth.
I really enjoyed the book. I think John Reizer's False Memory takes us on a psychological journey that explores the subject of people's perception concerning life while also delivering an entertaining sci-fi story.

Did the moon ever exist?
This story is about a young boy who watches the moon dissapear from view or did he? No one else has any memory of such a structure, let alone a picture in their minds. But this man will give up everything in his obsession to find out the truth.
The writing flows smoothly and the plot is tight. Characters are fleshed out, at least the important one. That being said, I had trouble with this story. I don't really care fore stories that bounce between time frames and this one does more than most. But the truth is intriguing and was worth making it through.

A fun bit of sci fi!
This was a fun story that was hard to put down. It moved quickly and had a satisfying and somewhat surprising ending. It's short, but just as long as was needed to tell the story. I think young people would particularly enjoy this.

I thoroughly enjoyed this short novel. False Memory is well-written and the plot well thought out. I loved the resolution at the end of the book. If you like sci-fi shorts, I would recommend this tale; it will not disappoint.

Picks up where the movie "Capricorn One" left off
Even though the author insists on capitalizing the word "moon", this is a well written novella. The story kept me engaged..."What's going on?" was supplanted with "Why is it happening?" Well developed plot.

Sci-fi is never a genre that I enjoy, but I couldn't put this one down. It was short, to the point and didn't give out pages of worthless information. Great read!

A real page turner
A quick read. Straight and to the point. What if reality could be hidden right before your eyes? Would you know?
I feel the ending was a bit rushed, but it was clearly a good one.
