Asterix: Asterix Omnibus 1: Asterix The Gaul, Asterix and The Golden Sickle, Asterix and The Goths Paperback – 7 July 2011

I remember ready Asterix when I was younger and now my children get to read Asterix as well. This is three volumes of the classic comics and is good value for money.

Product arrived on time and in good condition

I bought this for my dyslexic son who also has a speech and language delay to encourage him to read. My little brother taught himself to read as a child with these stories, so I thought I give a go. It has been such a success. It would be too much to say that he is reading now but there is an interest that was not there before and that is half the battle. He has been 'reading' this one since January and has read his first book on his own for the first time in February. Apart from that, I just love Asterix and Obelix, always have :-). I can fully recommend this!

Having been an avid Asterix fan as a child, I felt it time to introduce my daughter to the wonderful world of ancient Gaul. My brother had owned the whole collection as a child & passed them on to my older son, who was far too young to appreciate them at the time (hence waiting until my daughter was 14) & ended up destroying them all! So I decided to start a new collection & as it worked out cheaper to but them in omnibus form, went for this. I told my son I was getting his sister these & he had a "mock" tantrum, so I've ended up buying 2 of them so he can start collecting them again aswell (he is 23 & working so he can pay or the rest himself!). I personally can't wait to read them all again & will probably end up buying them all just so I can read them!

I have loved Asterix since I was a little child, and these are a good introduction to his world for our grandkids. Good quality and at a not too bad a price.

I have an 8 year old son and a 4 year old daughter. I have read them and given them many books of many types over the years. Their favourite was always the encyclopaedia - they would even fight over it. Then I bought them Asterix. Wow. They have had this as their favourite book ever since Christmas. They never go a day without reading it and it is always begged for at bed time. They LOVE Asterix. I'm quite chuffed as I loved it too as a kid.

I loved reading Asterix as a child. I remember it making me laugh. My 8 yr old nephew enjoys history and is an avid reader so I brought him the first 3 books for Christmas. I knew he had never heard of Asterix and he didnt appear ovelry excited when he opened it. However I have been told he now can't put it down. It has become his go to bed time read. Apparently he was up reading till 10pm recently. A definate hit and im so glad I thought to introduce him to these wonderful adventures. Have just purchased the next 3 books for him.

Used to love reading these books at the local library and now I can read them whenever I like. Who doesn't love fight scenes with puns, jokes in latin and the eternal mystery of the purpose of Menhirs? The only drawback is that black characters are drawn in a slightly racist way, similar to very old Disney cartoons. All in all, a crackin read.
