Reader Review Summary

Set in a quiet Bangladeshi village, the story follows Sumon, a boy of about twelve or thirteen who lives with his mother and sister. Sumon begins to experience a strange phenomenon: he has the same dream every night, a secret he cannot share with anyone. Eventually, the mystery behind these dreams is revealed, leading to an even more unusual tale centered on friendship. The narrative weaves together elements of science fiction, particularly time travel, with themes of brotherhood and familial affection, all within a contemporary rural setting.

Readers appreciated the book's emotionally resonant storytelling, especially its focus on deep friendship and familial bonds. The depiction of time travel was noted for being intricately tied to the everyday realities of rural Bangladesh, rather than relying on futuristic or comedic tropes. The review highlighted the engaging and fluid narrative style, as well as the absence of stereotypical villains; the scientists in the story are portrayed as curious and well-intentioned, reminiscent of those in Spielberg's 'E.T.' rather than as exploitative antagonists. The book was also praised for its heartfelt and mature exploration of human relationships, which left a strong emotional impact on readers.

Some readers found the underlying conflict involving hybrid/bionic humans versus biological humans to be somewhat formulaic and reminiscent of dystopian themes seen elsewhere. There was also a sense of familiarity in the plot, with one reviewer noting similarities to the author's earlier work 'Jara Biobot,' though they acknowledged that the setting, events, and characterizations were distinct enough to avoid feeling repetitive.

The book was published on February 22, 2025, and falls within the science fiction genre. It has received an average reader rating of 4.5 out of 5 from two ratings and one full review. The author, Muhammed Zafar Iqbal, is known for his contributions to Bangladeshi science fiction, particularly for young readers.
