I read the book as a child, every French kid loved Tintin.
But I do remember how Africans were portrayed, and if you were to see it you might find it offensive.

Some Tintin fans say that it's valuable as a work of fiction because it gives us an insight on how Belgians, and Europeans in general, viewed the rest of the world, especially the colonies.

However, just looking at how Africans are drawn in this book does make me quite embarrassed.
