A storyline where the main character has an episode of hiccups makes for an amusing read. Each character comes in to offer solutions to the protagonist, and eventually one of the solutions works out in the end. The theme of a recurring plot helps one stay engaged as the story goes along.
While following this familiar pattern, Hakeem’s Hiccups comes with an interesting twist in its plot which makes it stand apart from similar stories written on the theme. Water, which is the most commonly advised remedy for hiccups, is not an option for Hakeem as he is fasting in the month of Ramzan and must wait till sunset for iftar to eat or drink anything.
