"The Freedom Building" by Martin Kendall is a psychological thriller centered on John Gowan, a 48-year-old architect dealing with amnesia. After the Zenith building is destroyed in a terrorist attack, John dreams of designing the replacement building. His life takes a dramatic turn when he crashes his car and wakes up three and a half years later in the hospital, having no memory of designing the new building. Whenever he tries to recall or focus on his work, he experiences dizziness and a sense of foreboding. Keeping his condition a secret, John navigates a world filled with uncertainty and suspicion. 

As John grapples with his memory loss, he uncovers dark truths about his life and relationships. His interactions with his wife, daughter, and business partner reveal the depth of his internal struggle. The story is a gripping journey into John's mind as he tries to piece together his past and understand the events that led to his current state. Kendall masterfully weaves a tale of suspense and psychological intrigue, making the reader question reality alongside John.

I really liked the fast-paced nature of the book. The plot moved quickly, keeping me engaged and eager to see what would happen next. John's character was well-developed, and his struggles felt real and relatable. The mystery surrounding his amnesia and the design of the building added layers of complexity to the story. The supporting characters, especially John's business partner, played their roles perfectly, adding to the tension and uncertainty.

The only dislike I have is the occasional repetitiveness in describing John's memory loss and his attempts to recall his work. While this reinforced his frustration and confusion, it sometimes felt redundant. However, this did not detract significantly from my overall enjoyment of the story.

I found "The Freedom Building" to be exceptionally well-edited, with no noticeable grammatical errors. The seamless editing contributed to the book's readability and immersive experience. I give this book a maximum rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Its blend of psychological depth and thrilling suspense makes it a standout read. I highly recommend this book to fans of psychological thrillers and anyone interested in exploring the complexities of the human mind.
