What Nobody Ever Told You will tickle its readers and their funny bones by imparting hilarious pieces of advice nobody ever told them. In a set of twelve stories, the book makes a bid at being a short and fun filled ride of revelations that the protagonist Kuttappan provides, with ample comic relief. Summary Of The Book What Nobody Ever Told You works its magic with a simple yet fascinating narrative. The stories are all tied around the experiences of a certain youthful Kuttappan who is a disillusioned product of an ambitious yet ineffective education system. Every story begins with a narration by the author after which Kuttappan with his unwavering humour takes the readers on a ride of political incorrectness and inappropriate behaviour that is effective in its own way. Whether it is in responding to chain mails, smoking cigarettes or over usage of credit cards, Kuttappan uses a hard albeit comical logic to bring these actions into favourable outcomes. Targeted at being a leisure read, the author makes no bones about addressing any real problems or tragedies while infecting the readers with humour and wild imaginative crash courses on life. Although the book aims at being a thoughtless read, there is no end to the limitless ocean of possibilities that are opened up after a reading of this book. Ganeshkumar wishes to open the minds of the readers to the subversive but in doing so helps them enter into a state of questioning the status quo. Kuttappan is the lovable yet lawless protagonist whose idiosyncrasies dabble in harmless fun that is quite not the norm that is suited for community living. What Nobody Ever Told You hopes to show readers the other side, the unknown that is lost to people due to conditioning and societal norms. In doing so exactly, the book makes a point to exhibit its fresh stance with a number of cuckolded and uninformed choices. Not a guide in any form as warned by the author in the preface, the book is ultimately a satire on the human condition and the society at large. About B. Ganeshkumar B.
