Good

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An hilarious character study.
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 7 October 2008*

This was my least favourite Tintin stories as a child. As an 8 year old I'd have probably called it boring. As an adult it's one of my favourites.I can see why this Tintin story has come in for criticism from some quarters. It's an 'adventure' with no adventure & frankly nothing much happens. There is the old chestnut of the missing jewels, but other than that nothing much does happen... But & it's a very big BUT, adventure is not the point of this tale.'The Castafiore Emerald' is actaully an hilarious character study of our heroes at home, rather than in dire peril. This is Tintin as sitcom & it works very well. I must admit that this story would be a poor first exposure to Tintin, but if you read the previous books (best of all in order) you'll probably come love it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a child, I remember going to the library ...
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 July 2018*

As a child, I remember going to the library and checking out the Tintin books and being drawn into the adventure, wishing I could be Tintin.Now in my late 20's, I have decided to purchase all the Tintin books so that when my 2 year old is a bit older, I can share the world of Tintin with him :-D
