i honestly didn’t honk i would love lupin’s character so much but god knows i do. he is so well written, like he has so much charisma but he is also multilayered. obviously with this being a short story collection, i didn’t love all them, some stuck with me more than others but i particularly loved the first and last one, as well as the one titled la perle noire. i really enjoyed discovering the original material for the miyazaki animated film.
Absolutely loved it! I already loved the Lupin series on Netflix and this is just a bigger and better version of it! Incredible! I will be reading every single book from the series, thank you.

Maybe it's the translation but I found the chuffed self importance more than a little too much. Love a good heist book or film and I recognise that a lot of media I've loved was likely borrowing heavily but I don't have the ability to view it without that context. Almost finished and set aside.
Fairly predictable fare, the master thief outsmarting all comers. It is written in the standard whodunit format i.e. a very convoluted and confusing progression of events with our protagonist ever one step ahead. Despite this, I found it to be very readable and highly entertaining.
