Great Zorro

Title: Zorro
Author: Isabel Allende
Genre: Novel

Synopsis: The story of the young man Zorro, and how he came to be the masked legend. Born from a marriage of a rich Spanish man and a native American woman, Diego lives in both worlds. As he grows, he feels strongly the injustices that have been perpetuated against the native occupants of California, causing him to create the alternate persona of Zorro, who attempts to bring some more equality to the world.

Quote: "The fox saved you. That zorro is your totemic animal, your spiritual guide."

Grade: B
Review: I picked this book up on the recommendation of a friend, not expecting to enjoy it too much because I have no particular affinity for Zorro. However, I ended up liking it very much. You don't have to be heavily steeped in the Zorro mythology to get on board with good versus evil, righteousness versus injustice, genius underdog versus somewhat thick bad guys.
