I really really wanted to like this book. I mean look at the concept:
A counterpart to Sherlock Holmes, created at the same time and by a french man of all. It had the potential to be either a great satirical piece or live up to the potential of its counterpart. 
Sadly it did neither, but at least it created great adaptions.

Ça sort vraiment du genre de livre que j'aime lire. Je sais pas si c'est mon niveau de compréhension ou quoi mais j'ai trouvé l'histoire un peu difficile à suivre de manière chronologique et aussi en termes de personnages. Je crois que c'était fait en partie exprès pour montrer comment Arsène Lupin se déguise. J'ai aussi trouvé que la plupart des personnages était uni-dimensionnelles et exagérés. Je sais que c'est une œuvre de son temps et son genre, mais j'ai trouvé les exploits de Lupin un peu trop fantastiques; c'est peu être pour ça que je ne lis pas trop de livres dans ce genre, d'ailleurs. 

Par contre, bizarrement, je n'ai pas ressenti cet effet en regardant la série et pourtant Lupin a beaucoup plus de "chance" dans la série que dans le livre. Néanmoins, j'ai beaucoup plus préféré la série que le livre. 

En tout, j'ai aimé lire les aventures de Lupin mais je ne sais pas si je lirais les autres livres.
