The Adventures of Tintin Flight 714 to Sydney by Herge - Paperback

The tintin books are gems of adventure and mystery and they never make you bored on any page. The characters jump out of the story as you read and sometimes you sweat get scared or roll on the ground with laughter, as if you are traveling along with them

I had heard that the last two Tintins (this one and Picaros) were not Herges finest work, but I found Flight 714 very enjoyable. Not only for bringing back some of my favorite characters in Rastapopolous and Allan, as well as the perennially peripheral Skut, but also introducing some rather odd new individuals who added a lot of colour to the story.Without revealing too much, the plot is very much the most "out-there" of all the Tintin adventures and this perhaps what other readers have been disappointed by. For me though it is Herge moving with the tastes of the times whilst still managing to maintain the timeless qualities of the rest of the series. I understand that in the Picaros (the next album in the series) Herges dresses Tintin in flares instead of plus-fours and maybe this will be a bridge to far for me.I would say that this album should be approached as a slapstick adventure that stretches the imagination in a way not seen before in Herge's work and the ligne clare style is taken to new heights and you can feel Herges pleasure in drawing modern aeroplanes and vehicles as well as a return to tropical landscapes.A great bit of fun.
