David McK (3623 KP) rated Objectif Lune (Destination Moon) (Tintin #16) in Books
Jul 7, 2020
Unlike its sequel (Explorers on the Moon), this one is mainly set on good old Planet Earth itself, with Tintin (and Snowy!), Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus and the bungling Thompson twins all in the Sprodj Atomic Research Centre in Syldavia, working on the rocket that will take them to the moon!
This, I believe, is also one of only a handful of 2-part stories (the others being the earlier The Secret of the Unicorn followed by Red Rackham's Treasure and The Seven Crystal Ballsfollowed by Prisoners of the Sun).
Finally, remember the era in which they were written!
Erika (17789 KP) rated We Keep the Dead Close: A Murder at Harvard and a Half Century of Silence in Books
Feb 6, 2021
But no, I got a semi-autobiographical book about the paranoid, slightly-off her rocker author. She re-enrolls at Harvard, takes said professor's classes and tries to solve the case.
Surprisingly, that's not this book's biggest problem. The biggest issue with this book, other than being boring AF, is that this case was solved with longer overdue DNA testing... and completely proved the author's theory wrong. However, even though this book was published after, she still continues on her crusade. It was odd that they went ahead and published it, since it was all incorrect, incoherent babbling.
