Story Gist:
The

own skills have given him an uncanny edge over others. Parth, a college dropout, joins the story. Like the classic
break-ups, Parth’s girlfriend has sworn never to see his face again. Parth is determined to do exactly that by ensuring his picture is displayed on the hoarding which is right opposite her
building. Parth and Vihaan join forces to buy the most expensive hoarding space
available in Ahmedabad. Will this unusual pairing achieve success in their
endeavors?
Book Evaluation:
The
first thing that strikes a chord with this book the ‘dedication’ mentioned at
the start of the book and the title. The stubbornness and determination of main
characters to achieve the impossible is noticed and justifies the title “Zidd” The story
gist is clearly communicated through the vibrant cover art. The book is funny,
interesting, and written in an easy to understand language. The characteristics
and development of the protagonist are
visible through the narration. The unique storyline makes
it an interesting read and will make sure you put down the book only after you
have read the last word.
