Book Review: Tintin in Tibet

Review:  #893
Title:  Tintin in Tibet
Series:  The Adventures of Tintin – 20th book
Author:  Herge
Comments:  Tintin in Tibet is perhaps the best Tintin book so far, containing a charming and intimate story.  Tintin is happily enjoying some downtime in Marlinspike when he learns that his friend Chang (from a few volumes ago) is coming to visit.  Unfortunately disaster happens and Tintin must travel to Tibet to find Chang.  Tintin’s dedication along with his resolve is much to be admired about.  Perhaps the best thing about the plot is how for the first time, Tintin doesn’t rely on any lucky coincidences for escaping tight situations.  The jokes work wonderfully and the scenes help showcase Tintin in a positive light.  Captain Haddock, despite what he says, has a heart of gold and their friendship is heartwarming.
Rating:  6.5/10
