El Zorro

Zorro by Isabel Allende

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This books is surprisingly good!, even though you expect to read the exact same story as the movie with Antonio Banderas but you end up with something completely different but good. The storyline keeps you gripping the book with a fast narration that surprises you every time. And it traps you inside the world of California in the 1800's. You accompany the main character to Spain during the reign of Jose de Bonaparte (the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte) while many countries struggle for their independence after the french revolution.



Diego de la Vega is caught between two different views of the world and he ends up choosing justice for the unfurtunate. He is also in love with the unattainable Juliana. He faces many adventures along the way and makes you wish for him to have a happy ending. I ended up enjoying it a lot and it's even better if you read it in it's original language, spanish.

This is my review of "El Zorro: La Leyenda Comienza" in goodreads. This week I also read the longer version of Pride and Prejudice.

Honestly, I hadn´t even realized that I had read a shorter version before, I realized because I decided to read the book again after watching the movie and I realized that there were parts that I hadn't read before, and it was kind of obvious because the version I just read had like 580 pages and the version I had read before had less than 200 pages. haha

Well, I'm glad that I'm finally able to update the blog after a VERY stressful week. I'm finishing this school year after all but all the teacher left a lot of stuff to do for the end and now they are piling everything together.... : (

Now I'll just read manga and listen to good music! yay!
