First two volumes of Largo Winch adventures describing how he inherited the W group from his father.

Interesting story, lots of action and adventure. It paves the way for further look at Largo himself because although he is a rich playboy he sure is capable of picking up the fight with anyone who threatens him.

One thing that annoyed me (and why it is not 4 stars) is a complete mess when it comes to Largo's origins - Yugoslavia. Being familiar with the area I am pretty sure you don't have gypsy circus troupes anywhere over there, and especially no Polish names. As a matter of fact only thing they got correct is woman name Danica (where c = tz in local languages).

But even with all of the above it is enjoyable story, got me looking for volume 2. ( )
