After seeing Lupin, I thought I'd try the source material. The writing is enjoyable, but the book sort of fell flat for me, and I gave up midway through the third story. The author keeps saying what a criminal genius he is, but then only explains a rather mundane part of how each caper was pulled off, leaving out the larger and more difficult parts. I guess I wasn't satisfied with that. Maybe for a light vacation read it would be good, if you were in the mood, but otherwise not recommended.
