Review of 'The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Got this from the Gutenberg project after watching the TV-show on Netflix. (The TV-show is not about Arsène Lupin, but a modern day thief inspired by him.) I enjoyed it, but it is a bit dated, and although the individual stories are entertaining they lack a thread connecting them and Lupin is never given more than the "perfect thief" dimension. The attempts at fleshing out the character only highlight how much of a cardboard cutout he is.
