Tintin in the New World: A Romance by Frederic Tuten

Did not finish book.

1.0

I started it in the preview. THIS IS HORRIBLE. Tintin doesn't read dumb murder stories, Snowy doesn't think Tintin should be in love (in the comics, I mean), Capt. Haddock has never been (and will never be) in love, like he says he is in the book, and this is a BOOK! Tintin isn't in BOOKS, he's in action - IN COMICS! Nobody can ever recreate Tintin. Especially if they're trying to recreate him as a romantic person. Only people who have never read the comics would like this. Maybe. Even then... and I don't mean to be all preachy but really Tintin isn't the person to read slutty books (even though that's not half as slutty as other stuff out there, but I don't like Tintin reading that ew). This book doesn't even deserve one star. The author has totally ruined Tintin. At least it's not the real Tintin, so that's good (and I'm not being dramatic - I mean, at least it's not the original Tintin...it's just a knock-off brand, that sort of thing). I would be scarred for life if Herge were the one who wrote it. I'd probably question his sanity...

I am a little bit (a lotta bit) mad that someone would make Tintin fall in love with someone and read dumb books and have Snowy be like yeah Tintin get a life because Tintin has gotten a life and it's a perfect life, one where you stay that age forever and you don't think you're 12 and you aren't regretting not having any love life and where you're just there to have adventures and be in books. And besides, I have a book crush on him. Not totally, but he's just great the way he is and I hate when people think they can tamper with a book/write a sequel and make it better. It irritates me so much.
