tombomp 's review for:

The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin by Cheng Liu, Maurice Leblanc

3.0

---

This is the Project Gutenberg edition. The stories are pretty entertaining - absolutely zero character writing outside of some very mild stuff for Lupin himself, but it works. Not a literary classic but a fun quick easy read where the stories are exactly the right length. A couple of the stories are very predictable but it's still satisfying to see them through. There are a few pretty funny moments too. It's fun seeing stuff from the perspective of the guy pulling off the perfect crime. Also it's cool that Lupin is constantly stealing from rich people. Not enough substance to make it super recommendable but fun while it lasts
