A comprehensive and unflinching look at one of the most iconic artists of the twentieth-century.

I don't know how to properly review this. It was really interesting but at times it just dragged, I don't know if it was a translation thing or just that it was dry at times.
It was interesting though and I think adding in historical context to the times Hergé was writing in added to the understanding of who he was.

floodfish's review against another edition
2.0
I learned things I was glad to learn about Hergé but this is a disaster of a book.
Seems to have been translated by a robot and edited by a house cat, both locked in a room with no access to outside information, and neither of whom have any familiarity with or interest in the subject matter.
Maybe it's good in French (much of it is more transliterated than translated, so it flips the Francophone brainswitch anyway), and without the parts that were abridged.
