A review by gjeebus_k
Kuifje in Amerika by Hergé
3.0
Gangsters, Redskins, cowboys and agressive police... What else do we expect from America?!
After Tintin in Soviet-Russia and Congo (Africa), I hoped the interesting detective stories I remember from the series would begin in this volume. Unfortunately, I was wrong again...
Another story full of stereo-types, and a plot a bit too silly for the regular reader. It's more like a story about a young reporter who gets in a lot of silly situations during his stay in America.
If the absurdness was a bit less during the 'action sequences', I think I would've enjoyed it a lot more than I did now.
I gave this book 3 stars, because it still gave me a nostalgic feeling. And although everything was too stereo-typed for me, I thought Tintin used more clever ways this time to get out of sticky situations.
