Review of The Freedom Building
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Freedom Building" by Martin Kendall.]
The Freedom Building by Martin Kendall is full of suspense and wonder. The book is about John Gowan, an unknown architect who wants to become famous and build the next Zenith Building. John finds himself on a life-changing journey that has ups and downs that he must overcome to survive.
The Freedom Building begins with a terrorist attack on the Zenith Star building, which is a company that is a wholesale clothing store. The chairman’s son, Wilkinson Junior, makes some controversial remarks about Muslims wanting to take lands from the Israelis while he was on a trip in Israeli. These comments led to the attack on the Zenith Building. John goes to visit the Zenith Star property after the attack and looks at the destroyed building. On his way home from visiting the site, his feelings of excitement continue to grow. John is confident that he will be the architect to rebuild the Zenith building. He begins creating designs that will guarantee him the winning bid for the project and become the architect who will design the building. The closer John gets to his house, the darker it becomes. He is driving too fast for the curvy road and ends up crashing in a ditch and hitting his head on the steering wheel. John wakes up in the hospital, and nothing is as it seems. He soon realizes that it has been three and half years since the accident, but he doesn’t remember anything in those lost years, including becoming the new architect to build the new Zenith Building. He sets out to fill in the missing gaps of the past years.
Martin Kendall’s The Freedom Building is full of detail and imagination. Kendall does a great job unfolding the events and giving enough detail so that the reader won’t be confused but not too much detail to spoil the suspense. The plot had many twists and surprises that you will want to keep reading. I expected the book to be slow-paced because it is a psychological novel, however that is not the case. The Freedom Building is fast-paced and keeps you interested until the very end. As you read through the events of the book, you realize that John is battling more than just his amnesia. He is trying to come to terms with his life and his inner self. This book had me thinking about my challenges in life, especially my memories and happiness.
There is nothing I didn’t like about the book. Kendall did an outstanding job writing The Freedom Building. The story kept me interested and guessing the outcome. The ending took me by complete surprise. It is was well written with very few errors but not enough to deter me from reading. The Freedom Building definitely deserves a 4 out of 4 stars.
There were a few instances of profanity and content that implied intimacy. However, Kendall does not detail the intimate content or overuse of profanity. Therefore The Freedom Building would be recommended for young adults and any book lover that enjoys reading suspense and mystery novels. Book lovers that enjoy a psychological thriller novel would enjoy reading this book.
