Why read it?
1 author picked Zorro as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Different to most other Allende books in that it does not have the same strong female lead. If anything, the main female characters are slightly cliched, and I couldn't stop thinking of Daphne and Velma! The early part of the book, when Diego de la Vega, the character who becomes Zorro, is perhaps the most engaging.
Allende's writing is always superb - this is not her best, but well worth a read.
