Zorro by Isabel Allende

Post by lady_charlie »

I just started reading this book but I like it.
Love Isabel Allende as a general rule.
She uses the name given to Zorro by the 1919 pulp writer McCulley Johnstone.

Reviews on Goodreads are mixed.

Has anyone else read this book?

Don't worry about spoiling it for me.

I was just writing up this review and saw your old post. I'm sure you've figured all this out by now!

"This version of Zorro is a must-read for anyone who loves larger-than-life heroes. The story begins before Diego de la Vega is born, with the delightfully dramatic first meeting of his parents and their inevitable romance in the wild deserts of the New World. Isael Allende's epic encompasses the masked man's fantastic childhood, his impetuous youth and eventually his heroic achievement of adulthood. The Fox's many encounters and adventures with gypsies, pirates, French soldiers and Native Americans, side by side with his childhood companion, make him an invincible champion for justice. And it's matched perfectly by his spiritual journey into a masked crusader for his people."
