I thought the core of the story was brilliant.Following in the footsteps of Goscinny and Uderzo, this is just as good as the originals and a delight to have a new Asterix story. The storyline is as funny as ever and the illustrations by Didier Conrad are spot onFast paced and extremely cheeky and funny with some brilliant digs and in-jokes about everything from politics to the press.The artwork is very polished and dynamic. It looks just as good as any previous Asterix book, and one would have to be a real aficionado to tell it apart from Albert Uderzo's work. As for the writing, the story is on a par with many of the better books [...] it would appear that Asterix and Obelix will be entertaining children and adults for many, many years to come.I would recommend this story to adventure fans everywhere.The humour, married with the most intricate of details tells the 'real' story of Julius Caesar's defeat at the hands of the Gauls. Asterix, that feisty little Gaul, has transcended the ages!A real treat ... the new books will appeal to young readers, for whom it will be, hopefully, just the beginning
