It's fun. Its just episodic stories like these don't often work for me, in book form at least.

Ao invés de acompanharmos um detetive, aqui acompanhamos o ladrão. Para preservar a natureza do gênero, o mistério para o leitor não é quem cometeu o crime (pois já sabemos de antemão que terá sido Arsène Lupin) mas como ele o realizou.

Algumas das histórias tem um desfecho bem previsível, mas mesmo assim é interessante observar como os personagens que contracenam com Lupin agem/reagem aos acontecimentos.

Adicionar Sherlock Holmes a uma das histórias (Herlock Sholmes....) foi interessante, cria um interessante contraste entre esses dois personagens. Apesar que não duvido que o Moriarty fosse um problema maior para Sherlock do que o Lupin.

A bit of a strange one - I really enjoyed the character of Arsene Lupin, but the stories themselves were quite hit and miss for me.

Me encantó el libro, especialmente por lo descarado que es usar el nombre de Herloc Sholmes. La comedia y el misterio siempre están ahí, además que al ser historias cortas se convierte en un libro fácil de leer en el que te puedes leer fácilmente un capítulo por la tarde mientras te tomas algo. Aunque debes saber que las resoluciones rozan entre lo ingenioso y lo absurdo, así que no esperes descubrir cómo lo hizo, solo disfruta la lectura.

If you ignore the occasional misogyny, this is a fun book
