Honestly, I think 2 stars is super generous, but this was significantly more readable than the first Tintin book I read, so 2 it is. The Blue Lotus is a continuation of the story started in Cigars of the Pharaoh, which only adds to the depth and complexity of the story, and is, quite frankly, rather epic.more The latter two are amazing stories, with plenty of laughs, great social commentary, and actual character development. Tintin in America, the first story in this volume, isn't quite that bad, but it is a fairly lackluster Tintin story, with a simple, repetitive plot, and a lack of depth when compared to the the other two stories in this volume, Cigars of the Pharaoh and The Blue Lotus. Tintin one and two (Tintin in the Land of the Soviets & Tintin in the Congo) were so racially insensitive that they have rarely been reprinted, and weren't even included in this collection. Tintin in America, the first story in this volume, isn't quite that bad, but it is a fairly lackluster Tintin story, with a simple, repetitive plot, and a lack of depth when compared to the the other two stories in this volume, Cigars o It obviously took Herge some time to find his legs with the Tintin series.
