Search - Zorro

I read this book when it first came out. I read everything I can find by Isabel Allende, she is a master story teller, she is not afraid to throw in a little mystique, and is a great character developer. Her stories are historical and imaginative. I get totally involved in them when reading them...my idea of a really good book. Read it, you'll be glad you did!

Leave it to Allende to take a well-known story like Zorro and make it into a fresh, compelling read. I read this too fast, I was so taken into the story and its details! Hope you enjoy her version of Zorro, extremely well done!

I loved Allende's version of this well known character. She always makes her stories so rich and full of detail. I had never read the original story of Zorro by Johnston McCulley, but Allende has given me a reason to check it out.

A wonderful story, full of intrigue, background information, oh and pirates :). Truly a must read

A different kind of book for Allende. I have read most of her books. This is a fun and interesting story with a lot of fascinating background from the Napoleonic era in Spain and the American continent. It is NOT as serious as many of her others. Read it for a relaxing and iconoclastic look at a wild west legend and you will be well rewarded.

I'm not sure what I expected. The beginning and ending was too fast. Especially the ending which seemed to be an afterthought. I did like the middle of the book. It is written well, and if you like the Zorro legend, you may like this book. Otherwise, stick to the movies and Disney series.
