I love all 3 of these adventures, and always have. The Secret of the Unicorn is one of the very best of all the Tintin books. It does seem a little strange to include it in this volume without its sequel, Red Rackham's treasure (I suspect this is to encourage you to buy Volume 4!) All 3 adventures are classic Tintin, with suberb illustrations, exotic locations and exciting storylines. The colouful Captain Haddock is a very welcome addition to the cast. This collection is a real joy.

Although now in my late twenties, I am still fascinated by Tintin, his friends and his adventures. I do not claim to be a Tintinologist. As a child I used to read the full size editions, however, I prefer this smaller format, as it is compact and there is no loss of detail in the text or illustration. It is also more robust in hardback: how quickly did the paperback get dog-eared when read by an excited child?
Interestingly, there is no contents page. You must therefore "thumb" to find the story you require. I know that is a rather pedantic issue, but there is completeness to consider. This compilation is my favourite of the series, as it contains both "Destination Moon" and "Explorers on the Moon".
"Destination" begins with a plot ... Read More:

Simplified versions of Shakespeare's plays, very cleverly re-told in cartoon strips, that helps bring them to life for children (and adults) to understand.

Bleach: v. 20 (Bleach): v. 20 (Bleach)

The Soul Society Arc of the story has been going since around volume six. Thirteen volumes (around 2600 pages) have been building to this one and it definitely doesn't disappoint. All the fights that have been brewing come to a climax spanning the whole volume. In one of the bests twists I've seen in a long time as well, the villain is revealed. It's brilliantly written and is always engaging.
Gin becomes more intriguing, Momo becomes more tragic, Kisuke becomes more mysterious (if that was possible). I've read to very many times in anticipation of volume 21.
