Mirrro by Manoj Kumar Sharma

‘Mirrro’ by Manoj Kumar Sharma has been one of the most visible books on social media in the past one year or so. It has been nominated for many awards and even won a lot of awards. The story of “Mirrro” is very interesting. It deals with the biggest social evils our country is facing. Alcoholism, tobacco usage and crime against women.

It also covers how ragging is a menace and should be eliminated totally from colleges and hostels. It also gives social commentary on the condition of media in our country. Story is set in the year 2030. It begins with attacks on alcohol and tobacco units in various parts of the country. Plus instance justice given to rapists.

Who is responsible for this? Is it a person or a group of people? Are they isolated incidents or are they related to each other?

Who is Indo Sharma and what’s his story?

You would get answers to all these questions when you would read the novel.

Why is the novel named “Mirrro”?

There is an interesting twist and you should read the book to know the secret.

The language is simple and the flow of the book is good.

The book also contains lots of diagrams and sketches which helps visualise the story better.

The only thing which I felt could have been better is that the story could have been told in lesser pages, it was stretched a bit.

Overall, a very enjoyable read. There is a scope for a sequel as well.
