Review of The Freedom Building
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Freedom Building" by Martin Kendall.]
"The Freedom Building" by Martin Kendall is an enthralling psychological thriller that takes readers on a gripping journey through the fractured mind of John Gowan. John, who has built a modestly successful career, sees his life take an unexpected turn after a terrorist attack destroys the Zenith building, a landmark in his city. Eager to contribute to its reconstruction, John sets out to design a replacement. However, a car accident leaves him with severe amnesia, erasing years of his memories, including his role in designing the new building.
John wakes up in the hospital, bewildered and disoriented, only to learn that he has become a celebrated architect, praised for his innovative design of the new Zenith building. But his triumph is overshadowed by his inability to remember any of his work. Each attempt to engage with the project leads to overwhelming dizziness and a sense of foreboding darkness. Determined to protect his reputation, John decides to keep his condition a secret, leading to a tense and suspenseful narrative as he navigates the challenges of his professional and personal life.
What I found particularly captivating about this book was the intricate depiction of John's psychological struggle. Kendall does an exceptional job of portraying the internal chaos and fear that John experiences as he tries to piece together his lost memories.
Another aspect that stood out to me was the vivid portrayal of the supporting characters. Each character, from John's business partner to the enigmatic figures he encounters, is well-developed and adds depth to the story. Their interactions with John reveal different facets of his personality and highlight the complexities of human relationships. The tension between John and his colleagues is palpable, adding to the overall suspense of the narrative.
There was nothing I disliked about "The Freedom Building." The book was impeccably edited, with no noticeable errors. The smooth and engaging prose made it a pleasure to read. Kendall’s skillful storytelling kept me hooked from beginning to end, making it difficult to put the book down.
I rate "The Freedom Building" 5 out of 5 stars. The novel’s compelling plot, well-drawn characters, and profound psychological insights make it a standout in the genre. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy psychological thrillers and are interested in exploring the intricacies of the human mind. It is a thought-provoking read that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.
