Negative Positive
Title: One dull read
Review: Reading Isabel Allende's Zorro, is like taking a trip through Wicapedia. Plenty of interesting detail strung to a frame made of more detail. If you want to know general history about early California, what it was like to cut across Panama in the days before the canal, the Spanish Inquisition, and so on, then it is okay. But it is generally told from such a distant and obtuse point of view that the characters lack any zest. Thus, the encyclopedia analogy. I say make a wide berth around this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
