Satire is one of the less throvomg forms in present day literary writing. “Frauds in the Pond” comes across as a refreshing and energizing read by Josma Ettumanur. On reading the name the book seems to be a fable which shows glimpses of “Animal Farm” by George Orwell but on looking at the picture of the cover the reader is ensured that the book is a unique and a trend setter in the canon.
The book is likely to be enjoyed with people who have interest in the political issues prevailing in the present time and the fact that the author hails from the journalistic background makes sure he gives his take without tampering the facts. From naming the chapters to writing each of them, the author does a commendable effort and makes sure that the readers discuss the substance of the book among themselves with all those who have read it. At the same time, the book also gives the feeling of the pervasiveness of Marxist thought every now and then through a variety of references.
This book has the potential to become an instant hit among intellects and all those who have an analytical and thoughful appraoch towards the happenings of the present day.
