August 22, 2009: Adventures of Tintin is completely absorbing to my 10 year old son. He loves the graphics, humor, and adventure. Parents like the fact that Tintin books are set around the world and bring the opportunity to learn about geography in a fun way. This is a book a 10 year old won't put down, and will read again and again. It would also be excellent for reluctant readers because of the comic stylel format. The vocabulary;however, is much more sophisticated than a typical comic book, and the books have a much broader range of themes than a typical superhero comic book.

January 20, 2006: I absolutely enjoyed this book. I always ask my dad what books he used to read as a child, and he told me the Tintin series. Since he used to live in England, he was also able to watch the cartoon. I have helped many people discover this fascinating book and enjoy it. A must read for all ages.
