## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality
*by A***M on January 15, 2022*

Book arrived in perfect shape. As always, a great Tintin classic story!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Adventure, with Kidnapping/Hijacking Victim as Evil as Kidnappers
*by J***U on September 14, 2012*

Flight 714 is a great aerial kidnapping adventure story. Tintin, Captain Haddock, and Professor Calculus are en route to a Congress in Sydney, Australia, but their plane makes its first stop in Djakarta. There, they encounter their old friend Piotr Skut, who is one of the pilots of evil and childishly petty millionaire Laszlo Carreidas's private plane. Because he is also headed for Sydney, Carreidas invites the three to instead ride with him on his private plane. But it is is hijacked to Pulau-Pulau Bompa, a Polynesian island, by Carreidas's male secretary and two crooked pilots. They are greeted by none other than Tintin's old enemy Rastapopoulos and the Captain's corrupt former first mate, Captain Allan. Also prominent in the story is the creepy Dr. Krollspell, a specialist in truth serum.Tintin and Captain Haddock escape from captivity and battle the crooks, while Skut, the Professor, and the plane's steward stay in place. Rastapopoulos has won some of the native Sondonesians over, and they serve as his goons. There is a revolution, and Allan coaxes them against Tintin and company with "death to the enemies of the Sondonesian revolution."Tintin always has his share of helpers in his fight against evil throughout the series, but in Flight 714 this aspect enters a new realm -- literally. Also, there is an upheaval of nature on the island that brings the story to a climax.Carreidas is clearly as evil as the kidnappers, but through constant cutthroat, devious deceit he has managed to become rich and powerful within the law (or at least without being caught). Rastapopoulos and Allan have always tried to succeed outside the law, but they are always up against Tintin. One of the all-time greatest moments in the Tintin series takes place when Carreidas and Rastapopoulos face off in an extended competitive "who is worse" exchange. Carreidas had been injected with a truth serum, intended to pull from him a Swiss bank account number. However, Krollspell had accidentally hit Rastapopoulos with the needle too, while the evil tycoon had been raging that the serum was only causing Carreidas to confess how evil he was. In their exchanges, each would not tolerate the other saying he is more evil.Flight 714 has much more of a story than its predecessor "The Castafiore Emerald." However, it continues in the same vein in setting forth heavy psychological portraits of the characters, through their emotional speech and intense facial expressions (many grimaces, etc.), which are even stronger here and sometimes approach caricature. Surprisingly, this even includes Tintin, who has some real emoting. But comic relief usually imbues the situation. There were no villains in "The Castafiore Emerald," but the reader gets satisfaction by seeing Herge pick on the villains here, especially Rastapopoulos and Allan. Indeed, Rastapopoulos is not the slick guy of the past in this adventure, and there is no longer an aura of mystery about him. He is a victim of slapstick and his own klutziness, just like Captain Haddock always is, and he rages throughout the story, including raging at his underling Allan when things go wrong. But while Rastapopoulos is a beaten man, this does not really apply to Carreidas. His ranting cheap conceit and pettiness do not endear him well to either the heroes or the villains, and he gets some come-uppance. However, his evil self-absorption and selfish manner stick until the end.I give this book merely four and a half stars for personal reasons, just below five, but I think to many it would be a 5-star entry.

### ⭐ wrong/misleading publisher
*by C***Y on November 16, 2024*

The book is published by "Farshore", which is different from what the seller has advertised.The content gets 5-satr, as expected.
