The best Crime Fiction Most People Have Never Read,

This review is from: The Exploits of Arsene Lupin (Paperback)
Anybody intersted in crime fiction is definately in for a treat. Leblanc's tales are some of the best I've read, and Arsene Lupin is easily one of my new favorite Gentleman Burglar charcters of all time. While written in the very early 1900's and translated from French, the language reflects the time period, but at the same time remains very accessable and easy to read. These stories are also terribly clever. Lupin is a perfectly likable character who is always out-thinking and out-smarting just about everybody he comes across. My only wish for this book, was that there was a bit more in it. 150 pages can read pretty fast, and it definately leaves you wanting more, but it is an excellent book and well worth having in your collection.

There was even a crossover story, but due to copywrite issues LeBlanc had to use a fake name for Sherlock. (This is especially funny because LeBlanc's estate fought and lost an international copywrite fight with Japan over the name of a Japanes Comic character: Lupin III) There is also a movie base on Arsene Lupin, but it is nearly impossible to find it in a region 1.
