A review by robinreads707
Arsene Lupin, Gentleman Thief by Maurice Leblanc

4.0

As a student of the French language, I was recommended to watch the Netflix show Lupin in French, and I greatly enjoyed it. Therefore, when I came across this illustrated edition of Lupin, I was excited to see how the book is similar and different from the show.

I like both the show and the book equally, although they are quite different. I am tempted to read the rest of the series in French, as I feel that would be more enjoyable.

The book is a decadent copy, with gorgeous, often full-page or two-page illustrations and a ribbon bookmark.

If you like Sherlock Holmes, you’ll probably enjoy Lupin, especially with the inclusion of Herlock Sholmes (who I really wanted to be female) in the final chapter.
