Original books and delivered in short time. Thank you Amazon!!

Purchased for my daughter who is avid reader of tintin comics

prompt delivery in good condition.

the only sad part is that I expected a hard bound but it is described as an album I dint know what it meant moreover I had ordered other Tintin books and dint want to reject it. Whatever it makes a great reading the beautiful illustrations takes along time to see and admire.

Good price and timely delivery.

The original "Egmont".Best wishes to the seller.

There are lots of good Tintin adventures out there (The Black Island, the trip to the Moon, Flight 714 and so on), but I would say that this is my favourite. It has everything you need for a really exciting story - loads of action, daring escapes, mysteries, heroes, villains and very varied settings. It's also one of the most diverse adventures - you get to see Tintin in Europe solving the murder mystery, then in South America, firstly as a colonel then investigating the Arumbaya tribe, and then back to Europe again to finish, with the fast-paced rescue of the Arumbaya fetish - all in one adventure, which doesn't happen very often in the Tintin series. Also a very varied range of characters, such as General Alcazar, the Indians, the villains Alonso and Ramon, and others too. This is the type of adventure where you just want to keep reading on to find out what happens to Tintin next. This could serve as either an excellent introduction to the Tintin series or a fantastic read for those well used to the series too. A really good book all round!

Whether you're 7 or 70 these 3 in 1 volume stories are great.Herge had a real talent for using real historical backdrops for his stories which gives them appeal to a much wider audience than just kids upto 12. The prose is strong as is the imagery. The pacing is fast and plots are engaging. 'The Broken Ear' is very enjoyable and you wonder Lucas tipped the wink at this when writing 'Raiders'. The Black Island is good but it's unfortunately (due to it's rewriting in the 60s)a little out of context visually with the 1930s period (Cars, Planes,Trains, clothing etc)of the other 2 stories in this volume (even though it was originally written / published in between 'The Broken Ear' & 'King Ottakar's Sceptre'. Herge always wanted his stories to flow like movies and the more you read of these the more apparent this is. KOS is again a really strong story and very fast paced which kinda sets you up to want to read it again & again

I bought this as a gift from someone's Amazon wish list so I cannot give too much away. It is a paperback version of one of the wonderful TinTin series featuring high adventure and all your favourite characters. I have had a look at the book and it is all you would expect but I'm not going to refresh my memory of this episode by reading it (Massive self control required) . There is a great tradition of the "Bond Design" books in Belgium and France. We do not seem to have anything similar in English but thankfully we can enjoy these in translation.

This was sent as a gift to my 6year old grandaughter.It arrived earlier than the predicted date and she was very happy.

Perfectly received
