3,5. No es tan bueno como el anterior en cuestión de trama, pero Lupin y Sholmès son de lo mejorcito

Zabawna, szybko się czyta, lekka, w klimatach Sherlocka, ale nie do końca to jest jednak mój gatunek i trochę za mało mi Lupina w Lupinie było.

Me gusto y me dio risa el libro, me gustó más la historia de la lámpara porque no me lo esperaba, aunque eso sí conocer los conocimientos de Herlock fue raro y pobre Willson siempre lastimado

Delícia de ler esse livro. Super gostoso e divertido.
Diferentemente do primeiro volume, onde temos vários contos com o Arsène Lupin, neste temos duas histórias apenas: "A Mulher Loura" e "A lâmpada judáica". E, claro, contamos com a presença de ninguém mais, ninguém menos que Herlock Sholmes - seu arquinimigo - e seu pobre assistente, Wilson.
Como sempre Arsène é aquele personagem super carismático, cavalheiro, pronto para ajudar as pessoas, mas com o pequeno defeito de ser um ladrão.
Recomendo muito o livro!

TL: Ugh. A poor interpretation of Holmes and Watson in an attempt to prove Lupin's worthiness to be Holmes' nemesis.
TL;DR: The cover claims that this book is "A Classic Tale of the World's Greatest Thief and the World's Greatest Detective". I'm not sold on the former claim and I found the portrayal of Holmes and, in particular, Watson to border on offensive. Watson, or "Wilson" as copyright claims required him to be named, is not even a parody, he's a lumbering idiotic dolt and Leblanc does everything he can to remove him from the story whenever he pops his head up. Herlock Sholmes (again, thanks copyright) is a better interpretation and the original material occasionally shines through but there's so much time dedicated to making a fool of him that the more nuanced and clever parodying is hidden. Additionally, I felt that the very first story removed Lupin's (dubious) claims from the first book that he's a harmless Robin Hood.
Complaining aside, there are elements of this book that are quite good! The Blonde Lady thread is very well done...and I think I've run out of nice things to say now actually. I've given this 1-star because, well, I legitimately didn't like it. 1-star is maybe harsh but I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone, which I think effectively pushes it out of "OK" territory.
