I must not be the target audience for this series; I keep thinking I'm going to get the appeal of Bandette, the super thief, but I just don't. I like the artwork with its clear reference to old films and to Paris. Bandette the character doesn't do much for me, nor do her supporting characters.

"It is I, Bandette, the world's most talented thief!"
Ahhh, how I love Bandette! She is cute and kick-ass and comes out with these razor-sharp one-liners - I found myself laughing aloud quite a few times whilst reading this third instalment.
Tobin and Coover write some hilarious scenes with brilliant artwork - you can't help but get swept up in all of the silly mayhem.
That said, I still prefer the second volume story-wise, I think this story was a bit thin on the ground and there wasn't a proper ending (it's left rather ambiguous for no doubt more volumes) but I'm not really complaining.
I shall definitely be investing in Bandette's future escapades! Au revoir...for now!

If you loved the first two volumes (as I did!), then you should at least enjoy this one. However, it is the weakest of the three volumes so far. While the humor and the joy of Bandette are certainly present, this book seems to be coasting on that instead of adding anything to the series. I found the story to be extremely lacking in this one, and I had hoped for the introduction of interesting and fun new villains, such as Matadori (who is sadly missing from this tale).
All in all, it was still an enjoyable read, just not as great as the first two volumes!

Fabulous! I want to know who Bandette is now, too! Good luck reading this book without being delighted and craving candy bars!
I absolutely LOVE Bandette. She is spunky, charming, hilarious, delightful, intelligent and resourceful. She always gets the better of whoever she wants to. She’s part Batman, part Audrey Hepburn, part Gilmore Girl and it’s perfect. I had never thought about her real identity until someone got to see it, and it made me want to know! I can’t wait to read the next volume.

The foreword proposes that what makes this series successful is that it embodies "love and style" both in what the creators put into it and in how the combination of story and art manifests. Couldn't agree more. Pure delight.
