This was pretty fun. I like adventure, and I like the style of this graphic novel. I found the heroine a little bit annoying, but I liked it well to enough to look forward to reading sequel to see if I learn more about her and change my mind. ( )

The person who wrote the introduction to this commented that you can hear the French accents as you read, and he was exactly right. No need to write things out phonetically: the syntax, along with a monsieur here or a mademoiselle there, is enough.
The tone is playful. Bandette is a lovable thief who, of course, only steals from people who deserve it or won't mind. She is full of admiration for the people around her (as well as for herself), even for those who don't return her feelings, such as "the delightfully nosed" Inspector Belgique.
I recommend reading all the extras at the end of the book too, once the main story is complete. Read Daniel's story, at least, but all of these tidbits are good.
This comic made me smile a lot. I can't wait to read the next and to try out other work by these authors. ( )

Lighthearted book, very nicely drawn action and colorful pages. I liked that most of the people getting "thieved" by Bandette had it coming in one way or another, making it easier to identify with a heroine who is a self-described criminal. ( )
