merisoricica's review against another edition
2.0
Mi-a placut foarte mult limbajul folosit. Felul manierat al personajelor de a dialoga.
O carte misterioasa care a reusit sa nu imi trezeasca interesul pentru nici una din intamplarile "misterioase".
Foarte putina actiune, foarte multi campi batuti.
Folosirea adjectivelor precum "mucos" vorbind despre marele jurnalist-detectiv, prezentate ca fiind parerea autorului, nu a celor din jur, imi denota o incercare jalnica a antitezei.
Abia am asteptat sa se termine.

Pese al final apresurado, se hizo una lectura placentera y llamativa. No había puntos lentos en la historia ni personajes desagradables. Además, siendo digno de una novela de misterio, la habilidad del escritor para revelar a un villano que sólo se sospechaba, es magnífica.
Expandiré mis pensamientos en la reseña de mi página.

Que manera de pegarme una sopapeada al final. Fue muy francés muy Arsene Lupin se cruza con tin tin definitivamente me gustó. Quiero leer algo de material teórico para acompañarlo, porque el que venía de extra (las cartas de Leroux defendiendo la novela de aventuras me sorprendió)

I have previously really enjoyed Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera, so when I got the recommendation to read this book by none other than dear M. Poirot (he praises this book as 'a classic' and 'a masterpiece' in Christie's The Clocks), I couldn't resist.
What a clever locked room puzzle mystery! Except for some passages that were dragging around the middle of the book, it was engaging, fast-paced and the resolution is extremely clever.
I couldn't help but notice some similarities between our amateur sleuth and journalist Joseph Rouletabille and Hercule Poirot, they are both geniuses, but also annoying smart-asses sometimes. A few key clues and elements of the mystery (which I won't spoil for you) obviously inspired Agatha Christie in her own work as well.
Overall, a wonderful reading experience!
