A False Alarm

“The present-day human society is confronted by issues that are critical and need attention. It becomes the responsibility of writers to bring these issues into the limelight and raise awareness among people. Arjun Kacper in his book “A False Alarm” fulfills this responsibility by bringing a critical issue in front of the readers through his work.The critical issue which can also be considered to be the theme human trafficking comes up a little later but thereafter the readers are not able to forget the importance of it in the present time. This is one such issue on which quite less is written and the author makes sure to explain how this happens. The other themes that the author highlights are parenting bond of blood ties and human sensitivity.The subject of “A False Alarm” is very strong and hard-hitting which is only a reflection of the contemporary scenario. The subject more than relevant in the current scenario and the fact that less has been written makes the book even more important. Keeping this in mind readers should read the book with an open mindset to understand the criticalities the author is trying to point out.” - The Literature Today
