3.0 out of 5 stars
A fun lark; but worst editing job I've ever seen,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Zorro: The Curse of Capistrano (Paperback)
After living in Maryland for 27 years, I got homesick enough for California to look up Zorro in Wikipedia and discovered that "The Curse of Capistrano" is the original story that started it all. For that reason alone, it is worth the read. It is a work of its time, though, and seems melodramatic now, but it is good clean fun. I was susprised at how much more dastardly the bad guys are. The reader is not told outright who Zorro is early on, it simply becomes obvious as the story progresses.
But it is the worst editing I have ever seen: very many punctuation errors, paragraph repeated (pages 95-96), font changed to italics mid-chapter for no discernable reason (pages 110-113)... School kids might have fun finding and marking all the screw-ups.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Zorro - The Curse of Capistrano,
By Jonathon Horel (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zorro - The Curse of Capistrano (Kindle Edition)
I'm in love with this story--it's brilliant--but, I'm not in love with the table of contents. I can't access anything unless my Kindle is online, draining the battery. I have to use the search function instead. The story is more than worth the trouble, but I'm dissappointed it isn't more user friendly for its cost.
