(repost because I put this on the wrong version before lol)

This book wasn't bad at all and I was able to understand more than I thought I would. Surprisingly, the passé simple did not pose as much of a problem to me as the archaic vocabulary but it was still very comprehensible overall.

That being said, the stories were fun to read but I mean it kind of got repetitive after a while. I did find each one engaging and super interesting and turned it into a game of guessing who Lupin was disguised as each time. I didn't guess correctly each time but it was fun regardless. Also, I did not fully like how women were written (as scared, little, helpless creatures only there to be look pretty and be admired by men) but I did love Nelly. Scared as she might've been her morals were in the right place :)

It's a classic worth reading that's for sure.
