Tintin: Shooting Star by Hergé – review

Herge, The Shooting Star (Adventures of Tintin)

The best books for graphic novel readers are Tintin books by Hergé, my favourite of which is The Shooting Star!

The Shooting Star is about a meteorite that crash lands into the North Sea. Tintin and his friends set off on an expedition on the Arora vessel with Captain Haddock as captain, but soon the expedition turns into a race against the Peary (another expedition vessel) and its crew. Who will find the floating meteorite first?

I'm giving the book a 5/5 because it's adventurous, funny, and intriguing. Also my favourite character is Captain Haddock because he's funny, a bit nutty, and he cannot survive without whiskey!

I love Tintin books and if you try one I think you will too!
