Format:Paperback
"The forest will be destroyed to make way for a natural park," declares Julius Caeser, and so begins another ill-fated Roman attempt to "civilise" the Gauls. This time the main protaganist is a young architect with big ideas for surrounding the Gaulish village with executive housing until the Gauls either give in or move out the area. The whole thing is somewhat reminicent of a number of quango-run inner city redevelopment schemes in the 1980s and 1990s. If only we had Asterix and Obelix to save us from the developers.

Thirty or so years after my Mum and Dad first bought their children Asterix and Obelix books all three of us keep returning to them. They are extraordinary accomplishments; beautifully drawn and coloured and wittily written with slap stick guffaws and giggle-groaning puns. Everybody should own all Asterix books. I'll lob in a similar suggestion on behalf of Tintin, Judge Dredd and Charlie's War; all classics too - 'By Toutatis!'

As an Asterix fan since childhood I was certainly not disappointed with this sequel! Intelligent jokes, a really good laugh!
