5.0 out of 5 starsThe Secret of Good Storytelling!
By F. S. L'hoir VINE VOICE on December 16, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Something for everyone! That's the secret.

And Hergé's "Secret of the Unicorn" fulfils that promise, launching readers of all ages on a whale of a great pirate adventure and treasure hunt with the intrepid Tintin. Accompanying our boy-reporter on his quest are the rumbustious Captain Haddock (who has never met a bottle of rum that he didn't like); and the defective detectives, Thompson and (to be precise) Thomson (identical twins whose names are NOT); their attempts to foil the notorious Bird Brothers are wildly inept, demanding the prompt interventions of Tintin and his incredible thinking dog, Snowy, who not only save the day but also find the treasure. The story, which focuses on maps and secret cyphers, is told with flashbacks, which introduce us to Haddock's ancestor, Sir Francis, and (Blue Blistering Barnacles!) his adversary, the notorious pirate Red Rackham, scourge of at least 5 of the 7 seas.

Happily, the publishers have preserved the British English, which contributes to the old-world charm of the series. The dialogue is literate and full of benign double entendres; and the narrative moves at such a pace that one has to slow down to savour the story, so that the 63 pages don't fly by. But, even if they should, there is always the sequel, "Red Rackham's Treasure" to look forward to.

I bought three different Tintin adventures so that my grandson would become acquainted with these delightful tales, which I discovered back in the fifties. I first met Tintin in the Netherlands, in the guise of Kuifje ('Cowlick', for his shock of unruly hair); I subsequently encountered him in French, German, and Italian.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the best
By A Customer on August 23, 1998
Format: Paperback
This Tintin book is perhaps one of the most static of all the Tintin series.The plot centres around the story of one of Haddocks ancestors and ends with Tintin having to escape from the clutches of the Bird brothers.Like many other Tintin books, it contains alot of sub-plots, including the theft of the Thompson's wallets.It is one of my favourite Tintin books.

5.0 out of 5 starsCan't really go wrong with Tintin
By Chris on December 14, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I had all of these Tintins as a kid growing up in Trinidad and Tobago. It is a great trip down memory lane and my son loves them as well! The books are just great fun adventures! Wonderful books!!

There are a few books though that I didn't care for. One was Tintin in America which was completely off base. The trip to the moon was a a little weak as well in my mind even as a kid. I guess because the space race was going on and it seemed again, off base. It would have been REALLY good in the '50s ;-)

5.0 out of 5 starsA Sea Adventure Everyone Will Like
By Abhinav Agarwal VINE VOICE on May 14, 2003
Format: Paperback
This is the first part, the second part is 'Red Rakham's Treasure'. This is also the series when Marlinspike Hall makes its appearance. The second part is also when Prof Cuthbert Calculus enters Tintin cast for the first time. This is a story every Tintin lover will cherish and other readers will also enjoy. Despite being more than half a century old the story has lost nothing of its charm and sense of fun.
The plot concerns miniature models of boats that bear a striking similarity to a boat in a portrait of one of Capt Haddock's ancestors. From there begins a tale of pirates, of a treasure, of theives after the same treasure, of three hundred year old rum, of our adventurers' attempts at getting to it. The story finally culminates in the Marlinspike Hall, with Capt Haddock being restored to what turns out to be his ancesteral home.
This is the first and perhaps the best of the three adventures Herge wrote that ran into two books. The others two book adventures are 'The Seven Crystal Balls' and 'Prisoners of the Sun', and 'Destination Moon' and 'Explorers on the Moon'.
All in all, an excellent comic book to read, anytime, anywhere.

4.0 out of 5 starsMy Favorite Tintin
By xsurfer on June 5, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Reading the Tintin adventures when I was a kid changed my life. It was my first exposure to the graphic novel experience. back then you got them a chapter at a time, later in complete book form like this. They were adventure stories with exciting action, mysterious puzzles, hilarious characters, and real world concepts I could understand. I buy them now for my nieces and nephews to read when they come over, but I have to read each one again as well. I very much like this extra-large softcover edition. The art work is much better presented and you can really put you whole focus into the story. I can't afford the hardcover editions so this is the next best thing. Not a one of these is bad. I'm working on collecting them all.

1.0 out of 5 starsThis edition not as advertised!
By Gillian Ferranto on November 14, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I love Tintin, and now I'm a grandma buying for the next generation. I popped for a hardback, though I was somewhat horrified at the price tag. What I got was not at all the book I had when I was young. Yes, it was the Secret of the Unicorn. But it seems to be a library bound edition, which is no doubt sturdy but ugly and clunky. The beautiful endpapers are missing. The cover picture is cut out from somewhere else and glued onto the front. Tacky. Non-standard. I bought the French edition at the same time, for $18, which is a more reasonable price, and it was the book I expected, endpapers and all. (The children speak both languages, and I was giving them as a set.) I didn't understand why the English one was so much more expensive, but figured it had to do with translation or something. Also figured the convenience of getting everything in one order was worth something. However, I am not interested in this ugly book; not for $40! I will be returning this, and buying the proper edition from someone else. Having looked around now, it's available for $15 like it ought to be.

This story is also on video and really gets you involved. Herge knows how to "draw" you into his fantasies. His adventurous mind offers lots of material for movie makers!
