I really appreciated how this book shows that adventure doesn’t have to mean laser beams or pirate treasure. Sometimes, the most thrilling stories are about communication, empathy, and critical thinking. Plus, the usual joy of flipping back and forth to see where your decisions lead is always a blast.

The humor is particularly effective, with clever details in both the dialogue and the illustrations. For instance, early in the book, Snowy’s sarcastic remarks and physical comedy—such as walking into a garbage can immediately after chastising Tintin—add a layer of charm that endears these characters to the readers. These small, humorous touches make "Tintin and the Broken Ear" a delightful read.
