Latest Review: Scorn of Secrets by B. Truly

Re: Official Review: The Freedom Building by Martin Kendall

Wow! This book's concept seems so interesting! So, there were two accidents, the protagonist is in coma and years have passed, but the world doesn't know, right? Because why would everyone assume he designed a building that collapsed "a day before" he ended up in hospital? Has someone been hiding the news of his accident? I need to wrap my head around this.
You said that "the guessing game is perhaps the greatest strengh of the novel" and you're absolutely right! I have so many questions from reading your review only! I can't wait to read the book!

From your description of this book, I am intrigued to find out how John's creative psychological issues are concluded, if they even are. This sounds like it is right up my alley with twists and turns, a mystery about who the architect really is, and a psychological thriller. Thanks for your great review!

The mental health counselor side of me is intrigued. It's often hard to puzzle out the inner workings of the mind, but it's even harder still if the mystery is inside your own mind. I can't even begin to imagine the confusion experienced by someone suffering from amnesia, to have whole chunks of your life shrouded in clouds. That alone, plus combined with the psychological thriller side makes this a must-have on my to-read list.

I like the review and the book. Usually, accidents don't go without a psychological effect on the victim. It may be due to the physical body effects or financial constraints it adds to the victim. This book fits well as the BOTM for the knowledge and experience it gives on how to stay normal when affected by amnesia

This book sounds very interesting. This genre is not one that I read often but based on what
I have read in your review it will be one to exercise my mind. I really want to know who
designed the Zenith building. If John was in an accident and woke up after 3 years, there is
some mystery and suspense there. I am excited to start reading and learn what really
happened. Thank you for this excellent review.

Funnily enough, I also shared the same sentiments after reading this review. The reviewer summarized the whole book perfectly and thus making the book seem interesting.

I'm intrigued by people who suffer from amnesia. It will be interesting to be able to see things from their perspective and get a sense of the amount of frustration they experience after amnesia. Thank you for the review. I would love to read the book.

The psychological conflict of a protagonist in any story is captivating even in this. Fear of the inevitable disappointment versus the guilt of incapacitation. Very wonderful plot. Thanks for the informative review.
