Spora część książki jest dość nudna, ale dzięki okazjonalnym pięknie komediowym momentom się w miarę wyrównuje (i niektóre elementy rozwiązywania zagadki też były w porządku). Wydanie które czytałem (nie to, które mam na storygraphie, tylko to z 2021 roku) mnie cały czas irytowało tho... Wiem, że to jest na podstawie jakiegoś starszego tłumaczenia, ale jakąś korektę można by zrobić, a tymczasem jest w nim masa literówek i błędów interpunkcyjnych, czasem znika losowe słowo z jakiegoś zdania, czasem mam wrażenie że coś zostało przetłumaczone z francuskiego dosłownie, zamiast według faktycznego znaczenia... Już nawet ja lepiej stawiam przecinki, a to jest osiągnięcie XD
Estou deveras triste, no começo eu não dava nada pro livro achei que ia ser parado e etc, porém lá pros 40% o livro ficou muito misterioso e pros fãs de Arsène lupin isso é o bom da história. O final foi muito muito triste queria que ele pudesse ser feliz com sua amada
Enquanto no livro anterior as histórias tinham uma ligação, mas quase que podiam ser lidas separadamente, neste livro cada uma é o seguimento lógico da anterior.
É exactamente o que queremos que seja, um livro sobre personagens extremamente inteligentes que criam e solucionam casos fantásticos.
Acho que alguns capítulos acabam um bocadinho abruptamente, sem que tenhamos tempo de processar o que acabou de acontecer.

**A Showdown for the Ages**
Maurice LeBlanc was bold enough to write these stories less than 20 years after Conan Doyle first published his Holmes stories and about 25 years before Conan Doyle died. He was required to change the famous detective's name to Herlock Sholmes in the US version and Holmlock Shears in the UK. I guess there was no fan fiction back in the early 1900s. Nevertheless, now that the Holmes stories are in the public domain, everything has been corrected so that we are enjoying Sherlock and Watson.
This is a rematch of the world-famous detective and the world-famous thief. Since it's written by the creator of the latter, you can guess who will win. But that doesn't decrease the enjoyment of these two stories. Holmes is his usual smug, confident self, even to the point of egregious behavior towards Watson, who does not fare well in these stories. Lupin is also his usual smug, confident self. By the end of the stories, they appear to have developed a mutual respect.
Harrison's narration makes these stories come alive. For the first time, we experience the nerves beneath Holmes affectation of self-confidence. (We've known that all along through his need to keep Watson around to validate his superiority.) At no point in the stories was I sure how Lupin would best Holmes, and the ending was made more enjoyable by the narration by Harrison. He has a knack of knowing when to lean into the text and when to allow it to speak for itself.
If you enjoy Holmes, Lupin, or just a good mystery, I highly recommend Arsene Lupin vs. Sherlock Holmes.
