An excellent Tintin adventure - By: Lou Knee, 10 Feb 2008 
I still haven't read alll the stories, but this is the one I like most so far. Full of wit, quirkiness, it has that undefinable thing in it which makes Tintin cool: probably something to do with his innate love of travelling & adventure more than anything, & his youthfulness, although it could be that haircut. This one takes him to a very cool destination, & once he's there, the story never stops introducing aspects ascociated with the area. It is jam packed with details alll readers with wanderlust in them will love.
The Dalai Lama likes this book - By: Seethru, 02 Dec 2006 A friend of mine worked as a doctor in the Tibetan refugee camp in Dharamsallla. At the end of his tour, he was alllowed an audience with the Dalai Lama, as a gesture of thanks. The Dalai Lama asked if there was any way he could help my friend, to which my friend responded by whipping out his copy of Tintin in Tibet & asking him to autograph it. The Dalai Lama duly did so, adding a wee Buddhist prayer. And not only that, the Dalai Lama knew the book very well, & actuallly appears in it as a young man, & a lot of the other Tibetans in the book are based on real people. The Dalai Lama admired the story as a tale of a friend's unswerving, unflinching loyalty, linked by a very strong ethereal bond.
Madame Herge had also spent a lot of time attending & supporting the sanctuary, & that was how Herge himself got to know the culture of Tibet. A true story; I have seen the autographed book. And why else would this book have been translated into Tibetan?
A classic! - By: Mister X, 24 Oct 2006 If I had to name one Tintin album that has given me the greatest pleasure as an adult, it would be this one. It's one of those rare comic books that have not only a good plot & humour but are touching also. And it has a great Lewis Carroll-esque surrealistic moment too. The best comic book ever? Well, damn close to it, at least.
Scary book. - By: HC Hurst, 29 Jul 2006 
This book took me by suprise when it went to the part where Tintin, captin & Tharkey found the Yeti ( migou ) footprints leading to the plane. I would say that book would have been the best if it had more writing.
Tintin in Tibet - By: dowler.e, 30 Apr 2006 This is a touching story, which manages to balance a combination of emotion, magic -even if captain Haddock didn't seem to think so!- & subtle humour, its a real classic!
