This was fantastic, it brought back many childhood memories. Volume 7 is comprised of The Calculus Affair, The Red Sea Sharks and Tintin in Tibet. My favourite on was Tintin in Tibet, the setting was unique and the plot intriguing. Nonetheless all three stories were splendid and it was a pleasure rereading them.

As with the previous volumes, there are no extras. Just three bound volumes. But as a whole this one worked pretty well and was certainly one of the better books. I'd almost start with this one - sure you wouldn't know the characters, but you wouldn't be irritated by them either.

Absolutely charming adventure stories--Tintin was never a part of my childhood, but I really enjoyed reading them for the first time. There is, naturally, some racism, so readers must consider when the book was written.

I remember reading some of these when I was really young. I didn't really understand them but was fascinated with the illustrations. They are funny, incredibly detailed adventure stories with a brave boy, a loud obnoxious captain and a cute white dog. Lots of slapstick. Reinforces some old stereotypes in the illustrations and stories which parents can address with their kids, but still a classic. What do others think?

My uncle gave us all 7 volumes when clearing books because he thought we'd appreciate it. In 2014 I brought this one to school lent it to a classmate and never saw it again. If you're reading this please give it back to me. I miss it.

As per usual, TinTin is a delightful piece of nostalgic storytelling. However, reading this as an adult, I am ever conscious of how dated the social mores and imperialistic attitudes are. The books have some shockingly racist moments.

Herge must have been the type of person you'd just love to have over for an afternoon chat. He's masterful in creating these Tintin adventures...which seem to be timeless as my 12 year old son loves reading them as much as I do.
