“Zorro reminds me of a dashing Antonio Banderas... a perfectly timed cape flourish... and a "Z" carved with a dramatic schwing.

(Sorry.. I think there is some technical glitch due to which the images are not being shown)
But before Hollywood got its hands on him... before the endless sequels... there was Johnston McCulley's original, "The Mark of Zorro." It's a delightful, surprising and remarkably understated romp.
Forget your preconceptions of a two-hour action flick. This book is less about breakneck sword fights and more about the delicious, slow-burn unraveling of a meticulously crafted charade.
Don Diego Vega, our titular hero, isn't just a rich fop by day and a masked avenger by night... he's a masterpiece of calculated indolence. His sneer is so perfectly honed, his disdain for all things active so convincingly portrayed, that you almost start to believe he's genuinely the most useless man in California. It's a performance worthy of an Oscar, if only 1919 had them...”

“Zorro is basically the Scarlet Pimpernel behind the backdrop of a lawless 1840s Los Angeles. I enjoyed the story (even if I already knew the identity of Zorro, but that's mostly due to having seen the movie before reading the book... XP), and I think Zorro has earned his spot in the "fictional boyfriend" category.
Recommended for readers who love action and adventure in a historical setting.”

“A bit old fashioned, which undoubtedly will rub some folks the wrong way, but it was a quick listen and a fun story.”
