I have seen the movie seven times, read the book once (since I only just got it a day ago), and heard the soundtrack numerous times. And I love them all. This book is teriffic! There are some strong likenesses to the original novel ("The Mark of Zorro") in it that are very humerous, and they filled out the loose ends in the movie... such as, Where'd Elena get all that money in the end? (It turned out as I thought it would.) This book is a must-have for fans of the movie or just Zorro fans in general. I'm going to read it again, and again, and again, and...

The novelization of "The Mask of Zorro" is an excellent novelization of the movie, and at times, even clearer than the original. Thanks to my investigations on the Internet, I've come across various versions of Zorro, each with a different take on how Don Diego de la Vega became Zorro, and I believe the author of the novelization used the version which ran on the Family Channel (and which went off the air before I got interested in Zorro). The explanation of how Diego became Zorro, and the explanation of why Elena tried to stop Diego from killing Montero near the end, serves to clarify things that were confusing to me in the movie. I learned that Elena wanted Montero to tell her who her real father was. Oh, and I also liked the way the writer used a scene from "The Mark of Zorro" movie -- where Diego tells Lolita about his servant who's a wonder at the guitar, and where Lolita mentions her maid who's passionately fond of music. Here, Alejandro's the one who claims to have the good guitar-playing servant, and Elena's the one who has the maid. It's rather funny. I suggest anyone who's seen the movie get the book. It's excellent, and very clear. Belle Book

This book is wonderful, just like the movie! If you want the parallel of the movie, that includes a little more detail, read this, I love the movie and while reading this, I could see the entire thing in my head.

This book is the single one that I have read in only two days. It is smart, and written with skill. It is a very fun and suspenseful, a real adventure tale. I believe anyone can enjoy The Mask of Zorro weather old or young. I am very happy with the book, and plan to read it again.

the book is about, revenge.
i enjoyed the book a lot, and i would defently give it a good 9/10. its about a young man called alejandro, who is training to be zorro.

In the novel, The Mask of Zorro, by James Luceno, there is a young man who is trained to fight for the rights of his country. The governor has a rein of theft and injustice. Zorro falls in love with a beautifull young lady who gets caught up with the mess Zorro is in. Zorro want's revenge and he will stop at nothin to get it. The author (James Luceno) does a good job of describing whats happening as well as why its happening.

Frank Lauria has done a splendid novelization. The book is an exciting adventure/romance/epic novel written by a writer who knows how to write! I enjoyed this book immensely and recommend it to people of all ages. A great read!!!

FRANK LAURIA author of Alaska and Dark City has done it again with MASK OF ZORRO. Crisp, exciting writing that will delight kids of all ages. I liked it better than the adult version, and am looking forward to more novels by Mr Lauria. Fabulous!

Anyone who has seen the movie The Mask of Zorro will be pleased with this adaptation. The book holds on to the spirit of the movie without getting bogged down with too many background details. The descriptions of the duels come out nicely, and those of us who don't know the story find out how Diego de la Vega became Zorro. The only drawback is the insertion of new dialogue, where the original movie dialogue would have worked as well. A good solid read, that brings back images from the movie.
