Library's review

Dupont og Dupond er blandt de første til at opdage at benzin er blevet saboteret, så det nemt eksploderer. Tintin forsøger i en atmosfære af international spænding og krigstrusler at finde ud af hvem de skyldige er. Sporet fører ham til mellemøsten og den fjendtlige agent Dr. Müller.

Kaptajn Haddock er også sendt på hemmelig mission, men vi får aldrig at vide hvorfor han pludselig dukker op igen, for han bliver afbrudt hver gang han skal til at fortælle det. Dupond og Dupont kommer til at spise noget af det farlige benzinadditiv og pådrager sig en underlig sygdom af det. Sygdommen viser sig som hurtigtvoksende hår og bobler ud af munden. Sønnen af en arabisk sheik er også biperson som spasmager og modvilligt kidnapningsoffer. Professor Tournesol analyserer benzinadditivet og eksperimenterne går noget ud over Møllenborg., men ender med at han finder et stof, der modvirker benzinadditivet.

Ganske fornøjelig læsning.

Tintin and his adventures are highly amusing! As a second-language learner, I found this book easy to understand, even with words I did not know.

I do not particularly enjoy graphic novels but it was interesting to read this one. My brother always read the tin tin books so I was curious to see what they were like. The premise of the story is a company "autocart" is using bad gasoline to gain business. Tin tin is trying to get to the bottom

Just finished this book, which I read in short segments over the past week or so. Feel a little pathetic, posting it on goodreads, but these Tintin books! They mean something different each time, largely because you start reading them as a kid and later grow to understand them better, or at least

differently.

Anyway, this one is interesting because it's about... oil! And war over oil! Sound familiar? Anyway, always fun, as Tintin is.

23) [Tintin Land of Black Gold] by Hergé

Just to bump my reading numbers I 'happened' to read this as I was entering it on my kids' LT account.

The usual romp with the famous boy reporter and his brave dog, Snowy, along with Captain Haddock and the Thomson (Thompson?) twins. This time the adventure

sees them on a tanker to the port of Khemikhal in the Middle East where Tintin investigates a case of sabotage to the world's oil supply which is causing cars to explode, oil prices to fall and threatening to result in a world war. Needless to say, there are lots of inflammatory double entendres.

There's a bit of slapstick, as usual, which even Tintin and poor old Snowy don't escape, bumping into things for instance. And there's a six year old spoiled son of the emir who inadvertently saves the day, despite his best intentions.

While you do have to bear in mind that it was first published in 1950 and is to some extent a product of its time (cars, radio operators, phone boxes, aeroplanes) it still has relevance in this day and age.

Fun. A pleasant way to spend an afternoon.
