About this listen
The heroic and honorable Zorro, an ace with a whip and a demon with a sword, fights for the poor and oppressed - a far cry from the effete young aristocrat Don Diego, who spends his days reading poetry and dreaming of the beautiful Lolita Pulido. When Lolita's family faces ruin and accusations of treason, Zorro must step in to save her family and her honor. But who is this masked caballero?
With action aplenty, The Mark of Zorro (also known as The Curse of Capistrano) is an exciting tale of adventure and romance that has charmed generations of audiences.

Guilty pulp pleasure.
Utter trash but good fun. Homewood is a genius narrator so it was always going to be enjoyable.

Ludicrous but amusing
This was a fun book but lacks a bit of the subtly we'd expect from a book like this today. Maybe the concept of masked heros and secret identities is too mainstream but thing like Don Diego leaving a room, Zorro coming back in then Zorro leaving and Diego coming back in seem farcical.
There is also a lot of "Oh, woe is me. I wish there was a man as brave as Zorro and as wealthy as Diego." It gets repetitive quickly. This is primarily a romance/love triangle book too, not much swashbuckling but a lot of hand kissing, courting and defending honour. Not what I was expecting.
The narrator seems to have chosen to do this in a thick early Hollywood Mexican accent. The Rs are all rolled to the max and while it was immersive and set the tone well I could see it being irritating.
The setting makes sense and the plot just about works but this is a very primitive book. Read it as a quaint historical piece that somehow spawned a literary giant rather than a proper novel.
