The Freedom Building by Martin Kendall is the story of an architect who awakens in the hospital after a seemingly minor injury, and three and a half years of his memory is missing. John Gowan is now extremely successful after designing a building, replacing one destroyed in a terrorist attack. His new building is considered “genius,” but he does not recall the design process. Revealing his memory loss proves to have dangerous consequences. He must now navigate his life, keeping his amnesia a secret while determining who he can trust.

The Freedom Building was well-paced and unpredictable. I thought the storyline was unique and unlike any other story I have read. Though there was not a lot of action, I found the book hard to put down. The characters were well-developed, and the ending was unexpected. The author made me care about the main character by bringing his loneliness, despair, hope, and frustration to life. I rooted for him throughout the book.

I rate The Freedom Building 5 out of 5 stars. It was a quick read that hooked me from the beginning. The author built the perfect level of suspense to keep the reader continuously guessing. The ending was a bit of a cliffhanger, but the reader had ample information to draw their conclusions. The author examined several themes in the story such as betrayal, self-identity, power, and freedom. With these themes and many more, the author weaved a complex narrative that was thought-provoking and hard to forget.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I could not find anything that I disliked about it. The storyline was unique and complex, and the characters were well-developed. There was some explicit language and some allusion to sex. However, both profanity and sexual content were used sparingly. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers.
