3.0 out of 5 stars Why not learn some French?
TINTIN EN AMERIQUE has no real plot or character, just plenty of empty action -- he runs across the entire continent as fast as possible, meets every stereotype, and escapes danger largely through blind luck. Unlike the books from LOTUS onward there was no research for AMERIQUE, so it's America as seen from postcards & pulp fiction, resulting in the least interesting...

This review is from: Les Aventures de Tintin: Tintin en Amerique (French Edition) (Hardcover)
TINTIN EN AMERIQUE has no real plot or character, just plenty of empty action -- he runs across the entire continent as fast as possible, meets every stereotype, and escapes danger largely through blind luck. Unlike the books from LOTUS onward there was no research for AMERIQUE, so it's America as seen from postcards & pulp fiction, resulting in the least interesting TINTIN book this side of IN THE LAND OF THE SOVIETS.

The simplistic action does make it useful for studying French (which is, after all, the language in which Herge wrote it), and it does bridge the gap between TINTIN AU CONGO and CIGARE DU PHARAOH. After you've read all the others, AMERIQUE lets you complete your collection knowing that yes indeed, you have seen all there is to see in the TINTIN universe.
