Arsène Lupin contre Herlock Sholmès, by Maurice Leblanc

tansy's review against another edition

adventurous lighthearted

3.5

Lupin seems more like a supervillain than a gentleman-thief in this collection of stories; the overwhelming reach and power of his secret network make his contest with "Herlock Sholmes" seem a touch uneven.

بعيد عن كل شي ينفع مسلسل مررررة. على أنه فيه تشويق في الكتاب بس ما فيه ولا شي صدمني مرة حتى بعد ما خلصت كل قصة (هي قصتين في الكتاب) ما حسيت باحساس الانجاز اللي واو ذحين عرفت كل شي لا حسيت عادي ذا المتوقع واللي مفروض يصير، بس حلو ككتاب خفيف القصص ما زالت ممتعة وعجبني وجود شيرلوك هولمز، بس يا عزتي لواطسون شكله موريس لوبلان يكرهه أو شي؟

I picked up this book because the first book's Lupin vs Holmes part was brilliant and I thought that a whole book of the thing would be great. Instead, Maurice realizes that both Lupin and Holmes are basically superhuman. An unstoppable force, an immovable object and the only way to push the story forward is to dumb them down alteratively. Holmes makes rudimentary guesses that even I felt they were wrong (and were proven to be wrong) and Lupin makes silly mistakes and assumptions to be caught off guard. While the book is fun, I dont think Maurice had the capacity or the writing ability to write such a story as anything else but a Pink Panther-esque comedy instead of a thrilling mystery

Je suis navrée, mais je n'aimerais pas ce livre. Pas du tout. Depuis le commencement jusqu'à l'arrivée du Sherlock Holmes volé, et là, il devenait encore pire. Au moins pour moi.

Me gusto mas el primero, que eran mini historias de Lupin. Este ha sido mas una novela normal y el protagonismo recae sobre Sholmes, y hubiera preferido a Lupin
Nota:5/10
Espero que en los sucesivos vuelva el protagonismo al ladron, porque tiene mucho mas gancho
