Book Review: Juuhhhuuu by Manoj Kumar Sharma

Author Manoj Kumar Sharma is a master storyteller, he has fabulous knack for stories that emanate from our web of social activities and places. Two of his previous successful and bestseller novels “MIRRRO” and “Me No Pause, Me Play” were warmly received by the reading communities across the world.

His new fiction book Juuhhhuuu was spotted at the World Book Fair, New Delhi. Again, to surprise readers with something unique and new, this book is a collection of three long stories, however, brimming with entertainment and optimum dose of love. If love is known for being blind, well the author asserts that it could also happen in adverse and rarest of rare unlikely situations.

From being victims of accidents to culprits, the first story has the most unlikely lovers in the world. Second story is more of a like a crime thriller, with lovers from different nations on the run, but sheltered in India, and fighting the goons from a hostile country. The last one is a mesmerizing love story of Dev and Jasmeena – they get united after two decades – it was heartfelt to know the way they got separated –but kudos to technology like VR and AI that united them. However, the façade of the story is spooky…but a dive deep reveals much more than that. Based on virtual image behaviour and pattern, this story is bound to keep you on tenterhooks until you find out the way to solve the puzzles of two long-lost hearts.

In fact in all stories, there is a little bit investigation on and off, there lurks a genius of crime thriller penmanship in Manoj’s writing. A shift from socially-driven stories to thriller genre is welcoming gesture for readers invested in Indian stories.

What sets this collection apart from other love-bound books is its rich tapestry and exploration of the characters and their idiosyncrasies. Traversing through landscapes and geo-political barriers, subplots within become compelling and intricate at the same time. This riveting book explores the power of recognizing and embracing one’s true love, no matter how and where.

With this book, readers will find themselves immersed in a diverse range of love emotions, and further its blend of thriller and intrigue promises an unforgettable experience for the readers.
