Asterix and the Banquet Album #5 The Adventures of Asterix Bk 5 Rene Goscinny Albert Uderzo 9780752866093 Books Reviews

• What can I say? I buy the Asterix books for my middle school sons who adore them. They were first introduced to them when they were in grade school, by some friends from France. I was always an anti-comic book mom, but how can I complain when world history is thrown into the story? Both boys (ages 12 and 14) read and reread all of the titles we own. We have the paperback versions and the bindings are very sturdy and hold up to all the wear and tear and usage. They love 'em!
• This lovely book- a visual delight- is basically a souvenir of France. Our two adventurers tour round the country, taking in all regional specialities and Uderzo illustrating scenic and recognisable landscapes.
  
  The story itself is pretty weak, but you could not have designed a better tourist brochure for the country.
• Gave these books to some junior high kids. They not only loved the graphic story, but also enjoyed the sprinkeling of Latin throught. Nearly all continued learning through Latin classes at school. A superior intro to our Mother Tongue as well as a thoroughly interesting comic book series for its own sake.
• Looks good.
• My son and I love them. Gives you an appreciation for the variety of foods, and how people in France really like their food. It is also not afraid to mention alcohol in a children's book, which I think is good makes it demystify the topic (should only be drunk by adults, and in moderation is something to be enjoyed, as part of a good meal!).
• Perfect condition.
• I grew up with these books and I still love them. I got them for my son, but I still enjoy them as an adult!
  As for my son, he is asking for the whole collection!
• Big fan of Asterix and Obelix,
