The Zoya Factor
When the younger players in India's cricket team find out that advertising executive Zoya Singh Solanki was born at the very moment India won the World Cup back in 1983, they are intrigued. When having breakfast with her is followed by victories on the field, they are impressed. And when not eating with her results in defeat, they decide she's a lucky charm.The nation goes a step further. Amazed at the ragtag team's sudden spurt of victories, it declares her a Goddess.So when the eccentric IBCC president and his mesmeric, always-exquisitely-attired Swamiji invite Zoya to accompany the team to the tenth ICC World Cup, she has no choice but to agree.Pursued by international cricket boards on the one hand, wooed by Cola majors on the other, Zoya struggles to stay grounded in the thick of the world cup action. And it doesn't help that she keeps clashing with the erratically brilliant new skipper who tells her flatly that he doesn't believe in luck…
Bible for Cricket Lovers This was one book that i picked up with not much of expectation. I fell a prey to the pages in no time... there were lot of moments when i had a naughty smile on my face and sometimes felt.. " Gosh , i Should ve jus been there !". Such is this book. A true delight.. and if u r one among those indians whose heart beat triples when India is on the field , then this is nothing short of a Bible.
This is one book that is to be cherished in its form and not to be tested in acid waters in the name of " a-book-turning-to-a-movie". A classy mix of the right ingredients for a worthful read !

enticingthe book's hilarious,and though it's a lovestory you thankfully don't find a lot of sappy romance that we r traditionally fed with,the protagonist is sane a nd sensible and i luv Anuja{chuhan}4 that ,she misses our demigod captain but does'nt thankfully PINE 4 him,every character's fondly and meticulously created you even luv some of em lyk zoravar[personal fav] ,eppa and rinku,also the writer cleverly keeps in mind thata lot of cricket in the book would hav meant a lesser readership!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Heady mix of cricket & romanceA chubby ad exec meets greek god India Captain Nikhil Khoda...Add to it the luck factor that she brings to the cricket team!! and you have a heady mix of cricket and romance which hooks you in from the start...
The book builds up really well, and you fall in love with all the characters, zoyas dada, eppa, monita...they are so real...
A predictable climax, but well scripted...me thinks this has the potential to be made into a bollywood movie...
My compliments to the author on this book...kept me on the edge and hooked all the way....
Must read!!

I WONDER!! lol
I WONDER!! lol
Hyped and OverratedI bought it the next day it got released but "Yeh Dil Mange More" gal made me say "Kardiya tune Bore".Well I really dont know how the whole book,I dropped it after reading 50 pages coz it was taking me no where.A book much hyped and over rated.Nothing that great about it.
Not Impressive at allThere are so many mistakes in the book that I can not even count them. All in all this booked needed much more work before being sent to the book stalls for sale.
quite interestingi found the book quite interesting and cleverly crafted.it really had some moments of it's where you just want to cling to the book and read it in a one go.when i purchased it ,it seemed to me that it will be days before i finish reading it but to my suprise i finished it in a day and a half..quite a treat for a lazy afternoon..lookind forward for anuja's future work...keep it going girl..u r good at it.....
"Disappointing"When i started reading it i hadn't had any great expectations from it but still hoped for a good read, atleast. But at the end all i can say is this that it really disappoints me as a reader. The author has just tried to hit the chords by including cricket and romance for a nation which dwells in it. Hope cricket and bollywood masala movie fiend may like it. Not for esoteric readers.
gr8the book rocks its one of a kind i loved it soo much i made ma frnds read it its amazing i dint want the book to get over she should come up with something like this book
It's AwesomeAnuja the book is one of the best books ever...i loved it and have brought copies for my entire family.......i have read and re read it several times over and it's going yo be one of my most cherised books forever.....I loved the bit about NZ being New Zealand the most..........Thanks for a fab book !!
The best book EVER!!!This is one of the best book I have read so far.
A Marvellous Book For AllThis book worth the title of "marvellous"....the day i bought it,i could not stop but read it & thus completed in one & a half days....i think everyone should read this book by Anuja Chauhan...
Fun to read...I am reading The Zoya Factor book currently & its so much fun to read it. It is so expressive that you can feel & visualize every emotion & expression of the protagonist. A story which anyone can relate to itself.
It is simply mesmerising to read such a fiction. Not only the cricket fans but the non-cricket population would also love to read this book. Highly recommended & it is definitely a MUST READ!!!!!

Entertaining Zoya factor was a very entertaining novel no doubt about that , i felt the zoya character was essayed really cutely .....and the romance goes on the with a cute tom and jerry fight. The novel dint have much of sense of humour , also content wise it was low. But to sum it all i enjoyed reading it and fell in love with Gaalu!!!
