"I remember reading some of these when I was really young. I didn't really understand them but was fascinated with the illustrations. They are funny, incredibly detailed adventure stories with a brave boy, a loud obnoxious captain and a cute white dog. Lots of slapstick. Reinforces some old stereotypes in the illustrations and stories which parents can address with their kids, but still a classic. What do others think?"
"Billy Hoff P.3 5/16/2009 Good Reads! This book starts out very weird. It's a real mystery story. I think that it's a lot better with the graphics (The Adventures of Tintin a all graphic novels) and it makes the stories a little easier to follow.
The Calculus Affair: This book is very mysterious; the way that it starts out is very mysterious. Glass is breaking left and right at the Captains house. As the power goes out an insurance man comes in and annoys the Captain and tells him that he needs insurance on everything of his, the insurance man stays through out the whole story. The Captain wants desperately to retire but he can't since there is something brewing and he must go with Tintin to figure it out. They have a big adventure through the whole story and they keep running into the two thefts and in the end everything is restored and they find Calculus again.
The Red Sea Sharks: This book starts out like a real adventure. Tintin and the Captain were talking to each other about the movie and how the character didn't see a man for a really long time and the all of a sudden, he just pops up out of no where. That very thing happened just as Tintin and Captain were talking about their old friend General Alcazar. The General dropped his wallet and that lead Tintin and Captain onto a little adventure. They both end up going to the mid-east and getting harassed by some terrorists. And after that their lives are restored to the-norm.
Tintin in Tibet: Tintin and Captain go on a journey to Asia, and Tintin starts thinking about Chang one of his friends. Tintin got a letter from him and then Tintin had a dream about him, and scared the wits out of everyone around him. Tintin also heard that the plane that Chang was one crashed but Tintin was sure that Chang was still alive. So again Tintin drug Captain all over on his adventure and they ended up finding Chang alive with the yeti, but it was a pain in the neck to get to where he was because they had to get through many obstacles to get into the mountains, and find a guide that was crazy enough to go into the mountains with a yeti."
