 Smaller than the paperback edition; hard to read March 29, 2008
M. P. Carrasco (Houston, TX)
I chose this 3-in-1 for the cheaper price. When it arrived I found it is actually smaller than the paperback editions and harder to read. I'd say buy the paperback ones.
I give this a 3-star: 1 star for the size, 5 for the storyline. Average = 3.
 Awesome October 20, 2007

I always loved tintin. Getting three books in one is an awesome deal. Though I find there is some compromise with the picture quality or rather
size of it but I still like it. Its definitely a good deal for me.
Little disappointing February 7, 2007
Patrice Auclair (Ansan, South Korea)
The quality of the printing is far from perfect. It smooches on several pages.Also, I read the French version first and the English one is, in my opinion, rather lame. A lot of work would need to be done to improve it.

"The Adventures of Tintin: Volume 2" contains three more adventure comics by Herge, in a handy sized hardcover book. Here, we get "The Broken Ear" (1937), an adventure in a civil-war torn part of South America, "The Black Island" (1938) a chase through Britain, and "King Ottokar's Sceptre" (1939), featuring a plot against a "Syldavian" king. A few well known Tintin characters first appear in these stories. General Alcazar first appears in "The Broken Ear", Dr Muller appears in "The Black Island" and Bianca Castifiore sings her first song to Tintin in "King Ottokar's Sceptere". They're all exciting, intriguing adventures, my favorite in this bunch being "The Black Island", mainly for the chase sequences and the island's "beast".
The text and pictures are a little smaller, but it's easy enough to read, and the detail of the pictures is maintained. It's really great value too. Here on amazon you could buy two or three of these for one normal sized hardcover Tintin. That's 5-8 more adventures for the same price!
Definitely worth picking up if you're interested.

I've always enjoyed reading the Adventures of Tintin. The 3-in-1 hardcover books are good on the budget but the dimensions are smaller than the individual paperback books. Some of the storylines are a little dated and the jokes do get somewhat repetative. The later stories tend to get "silly" with characters falling down and running into things more often than the older stories but I think that's what made my 9 year old daughter enjoy them since she doesn't really follow the stories very well. If you like Tintin, you'll want to buy all of the books and you will reread them.
