I have never been to India. Reading this book, I travelled through this vast land and discovered there are still so many things to learn about India apart from the booming economy. Nine lives are nine ways to pursue God/peace/truth and happiness. The power of religion is really amazing. I enjoyed every story. If I have to choose, I like the one of Tibetan monk the most. Using the force to defend your dream and your religion is necessary at that time. He was forced to continue the killing. A poor soul! I felt the sadness of his story and I was so moved.

This time Tintin and Milou set out for adventure in search for Chang. They survived the difficult situations on their way to Tibet. They found Chang in the end. I love this little story of friendship and steadfastness. Usually Tintin is always in the big plot such as cracking the criminal plans. This time, with no criminal mind behind all these problems, is a mission of rescue. I find it courageous and purely noble. Hope I will never give up my dreams just as Tintin never gives up.
