    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun adventure
    Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2012

    Bought this for a 9 year old to read because he likes comic strips plus he had watched the Tintin movie and wanted to find out more about the characters. It is an old fashion comic. The topics are normal for the time period, which leads to questions being asked of a younger reader. The adventures are about Tintin and his dog. They get into and out of trouble. Each of their adventures have a problem that needs to be solved. Our book has been read through 2-3 times and is presently being read again. Generally a fun quick read.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Glad to have read - a bit juvenile
    Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    When I was a child, a relative sent us several "Adventures of TinTin", but we couldn't read them, as they were in French. We would look at the pictures and try to guess what was going on, but I always wondered what the story was. I was very happy to see these and started off with this one (Vol 1).

    This book is small, and the font is small as well (my recollection is that the childhood books were full size).

    I'm glad to have read these, but I can see that they would appeal to a younger group - there are MANY captures/dangers and escapes in the nick of time... this happens over and over again. There is a heavy dose of coincidence as well.

    These are fine if you want action/adventure/capture/escape tales, and probably lots and lots of fun to adventurous-loving young people around 8-13 years.

    As an adult, I find The Three Investigator stories to be much more enjoyable reading.

    As for now, I'm not sure if I'll buy another set.

    It is great to have 3 of Tintin's adventures in 1 book. I used to read Tintin as a kid and always loved it. I bought these for my 7 year old son and he reads them constantly, a testimony of the quality in these times when the younger generation does not read much.

    The only problem I've found with these books is that the format is smaller tan the original which detracts a bit of the image quality at times. Still, comfortable to read in a smaller size.

    I also get to read them sometimes, still find them entertaining after 40 years!

    三話が一冊にまとまっているので、個別に三冊買うよりも断然お得です。ハードカバーなのでもちもいいです。ただ、個別のシリーズに比べて、本のサイズが一回り小さいので、細かい字などは読みにくいと感じられる方もいらっしゃるかもしれません。それを差し引いても、やはりこのコストパフォーマンスは捨てがたいです。もちろん本の内容はエクセレントです。タンタンと愛犬スノーウィーのおこす奇跡とユーモアは読む者をどんどん惹きつけずにはいられません。英語の入門書としても最適です。

    ce commentaire concerne une édition plus ancienne de couleur beige et pas forcément celle affichée sur la page produit
    livre anglophone relié rigide moyen format ancien (1991) 1er tome d'une collection reprenant trois des célèbres aventures de Tintin, dans ce cas Tintin en Amérique (n°3), les cigares du pharaon (n°4) et le lotus bleu (n°5); attention une collection plus récente dans un format similaire mais chez un autre éditeur (Egmont) utilise une numérotation décalée et dans ce cas, ce volume correspond au tome 2; la langue anglaise est facilement accessible et même les anglophobes les plus réticents seront aidés grandement par l'image; il faut juste s'accoutumer aux traductions des jurons du capitaine Haddock!; les images sont plus petites que dans les versions originales, c'est un peu gênant au début puis on finit par s'y habituer au fur et à mesure qu'on se laisse porter par ces histoire si bien ficelées par Hergé; un bon moyen d'accéder à Tintin à un prix plus mesuré que les grands albums reliés classiques prisés par les collectionneurs de BD mais hors de prix même en seconde main; cette édition ne se trouve plus qu'en occasion à des prix parfois vraiment intéressants (mais attention alors à l'état d'usure de l'ouvrage: privilégiez les vendeurs bien notés);

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2008

    I only read one or 2 Tintin books when I was a kid, which I thought were great, but, for some reason, never read any more. One was a two parter 'Secret of the Unicorn' the other was 'The Black Island' - libraries never had many (they were usually in really tatty condition with pages missing or someone had written on them etc - like the Asterix series, being so popular they were very well thumbed or ripped to shreds or both. Anyway, You grow up, move on, become world worn etc. Now well into my thirties more than 20 years later, I stumbled across the A5 3 in one volumes on amazon. The long forgotten kid in me stirred and thought - you can read the lot!!! -after all you can do what you like! Found myself ordering them 2 weeks ago.... and...what can I say, they are fantastic TT In America, Cigars of the Pharaohs & The Blue Lotus. Quality timeless stories with enough interest and adult subtlety to want to read them again and again, however old you are. I like the way the opium smuggling plots dovetale into one another (CotP - TBL).You just get totally lost in these cleverly written tomes - something I have not done with a book for a long,long while. They have some sort of 'Indiana Jones'/'Agatha Christie'/'Dick Barton' feel to them (I guess being set/ written in the same period (1930s)action packed / detective work. Great switch off reading. Go buy them!
