Jarkko Tontti liked Markku's review of Kapina laivassa: "Yllättävän hyvin aikaa kestänyt meriseikkailu ja näpsä satiiri "sivistyksestä" Rousseaun hengessä."

Kiinnostavalla tavalla julkaisaikaansa heijasteleva Tintti. Vuonna 1938 Saksa liitti Itävällan itseensä, samoin osan Tsekkoslovakiaa. Tintin maailmassa Borduria salajuonii liittääkseen itseensä Syldavian. Bordurian lentokoneetkin ovat albumissa aikan ...more

Yksi viimeisistä Tintti-albumeista. Ei nouse ihan parhaiden tasolle. Tarina kääntyy loppupuolella vähemmän uskottavaksi ufo-juoneksi. Hergéllä oli käytössään jo studiollinen avustajia ja piirosjälki eroaa varhaisemmista teoksista - eikä ollenkaan par ...more

Ei aivan Llosan parhaita teoksia. Mutta vaikuttavaa proosaa silti, ainakin hetkittäin. Kirjailija yrittää ja ehkä onnistuukin pääsemään perulaisen intiaaniheimon tai alkuperäiskansan mytologioiden sisään ja kirjoittaa niitä romaaniinsa, osaksi kerron ...more
