A review by franderochefort
Astérix Le Gaulois by René Goscinny, Albert Uderzo
2.0
Read this in a single afternoon at probably a third my English reading speed; from my French learning perspective first, found this a surprisingly breezy read with only a few dictionary look-ups (most towards the end) so maybe I'm improving more quickly than I suspected. I do still feel like I'm missing some of the puns/cultural references though.
As the first installment in the Astérix series this is attractively presented and a decent start - some of the inconsistencies in plotting and character do show through as Goscinny was clearly still working through what he wanted the series to be in this serialized form but a fun read nonetheless.
