This was my first Tintin tape. It includes:

"The Black Island" - Tintin tries to solve the mystery of a crashed plane.

"The Secret of the UNICORN" - An old model sailing ship that Snowy breaks will lead Tintin and Snowy to adventure.

"Red Rackham's Treasure" - Tintin, Snowy and Capt. Haddock are now searching for the wreck of the UNICORN. Introduces Professor Calculus.

"Destination Moon" - Tintin goes to the Moon. Need any more info?

"Explorers on the Moon" - The real Moon adventure.

"Tintin in Tibet" - Tintin goes searching for Chang Chong-chen, the young Chinese boy he met in "The Blue Lotus."

Good.

It is great to listen to a good dramatized story and imagine what is happening, the way our grandparents used to do when there was no television around! A good exercise for our minds!

Five of the six adaptations were great. The only one that could have been way better was "The Black Island", which is, by far, my favorite Tintin book. To me, that adaptation was disappointing: the story was cut too short, and Richard Pearce -the actor playing Tintin's voice- should have been more convincing. Still, one can see that "The Black Island" audio adaptation was the first one of the series. The next five stories are wonderful and all the voice talents are convincing!

This audio book set will delight any TinTin fan... I wonder when they are going to come out with the audio books for the rest of teh TinTin books.
