Dakota and the American Dream by Sameer Garach
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
My Review:
Dakota and the American Dream was an enjoyable read with a great meaning to it. Sameer Garach holds a great skill for satirical writing matched with an uparalleled sense of humor. The story starts with Dakota, a 10 year old boy who follows a squirrel into the world of Corporate America, mirroring the conception of Alice in Wonderland.
βSantaβs not real,β Dakota answered, very beat. βHow can a fat guy visit so many houses in one night? With flying reindeer? It just is not possible,β he thought.
(lol, sorry Santa!) I loved Dakota and his persona was unique and he faces the world with an unwavering resolve. The pace was quick and likeable and the world building was splendid. The narrative and the plot of the story will leave you aching for more. It was realistic and every aspects of criticism you face in a world such as ours, was meticulously depicted. I had a good laugh throughout the book but the message behind every word was resonating which made me realise the flaws that exists in our system.
“The bee only wanted to hear what he wanted to hear.”
An apt, thought provoking novel for both kids and adults but it might not be for everyone. I’d rate it a four star and I do highly recommend this if you are looking for a mind boggling satire. Thank you Sameer Garach for providing me with a copy for an honest review!
