Customer Reviews
An excellent Tintin adventure - Rated I still haven't read all the stories, but this is the one I like most so far. Full of wit, quirkiness, it has that undefinable thing in it which makes Tintin cool: probably something to do with his innate love of travelling and adventure more than anything, and his youthfulness, although it could be that haircut. This one takes him to a very cool destination, and once he's there, the story never stops introducing aspects ascociated with the area. It is jam packed with details all readers with wanderlust in them will love. The Dalai Lama likes this book - Rated A friend of mine worked as a doctor in the Tibetan refugee camp in Dharamsalla. At the end of his tour, he was allowed an audience with the Dalai Lama, as a gesture of thanks. The Dalai Lama asked if there was any way he could help my friend, to which my friend responded by whipping out his copy of Tintin in Tibet and asking him to autograph it. The Dalai Lama duly did so, adding a wee Buddhist prayer. And not only that, the Dalai Lama knew the book very well, and actually appears in it as a young man, and a lot of the other Tibetans in the book are based on real people. The Dalai Lama admired the story as a tale of a friend's unswerving, unflinching loyalty, linked by a very strong ethereal bond. Madame Herge had also spent a lot of time attending and supporting the sanctuary, and that was how Herge himself got to know the culture of Tibet. A true story; I have seen the autographed book. And why else would this book have been translated into Tibetan? A classic! - Rated If I had to name one Tintin album that has given me the greatest pleasure as an adult, it would be this one. It's one of those rare comic books that have not only a good plot and humour but are touching also. And it has a great Lewis Carroll-esque surrealistic moment too. The best comic book ever? Well, damn close to it, at least. Scary book. - Rated This book took me by suprise when it went to the part where Tintin, captin and Tharkey found the Yeti ( migou ) footprints leading to the plane. I would say that book would have been the best if it had more writing. Tintin in Tibet - Rated This is a touching story, which manages to balance a combination of emotion, magic -even if captain Haddock didn't seem to think so!- and subtle humour, its a real classic!
