Book Review - Pokemon Ki Duniya Is A Captivating Novel




.


 A couple of weeks back I purchased an Urdu novel Pokemon Ki Dunya by  Musharraf Alam Zauqi from the Sareer Publications website. My order delivered on time and I started reading my novel.

The theme of the Urdu novel Pokemon ki Duniya is about the new cyber age and its influence upon our young generation. The novel beautifully tells us that how new cyber tools are being used to create a PR, advertisement campaigns, how key opinion leaders influence people, junk food, globalization, and monopolies of big businesses are changing societies throughout the world. 

The real-life humans are living like sketched characters or cartoons. The novel is all about systemic outside interference and hindrances. The story tells us how children’s behavior is affected due to exposure to overly used internet. Online gaming is altering their attitude towards real-life.



Musharraf Alam Zauqi is a well-known Indian novelist, a fiction writer who has also gained popularity in Pakistan. His approach towards new topics is unique. He is highlighting the issues regarding changing traditions, social behavior and the influence of the internet on young generations.

The quality of the book is fine as it has a catchy cover, nice thick pages and perfectly fixed with hardcover.

I would recommend this novel to all of you.
