Class Act to read

Hi there u guys who are comic fans and have loved the Asterix series, did u read the latest(more modern) Asterix installment(the book is in a short story format i.e many small adventures clubbed together) >>Asterix and the class Act. If no then my blog will update u for good. These ar some reviews by customers at Amaozon who had purchased the book>>
1)First I need to start off by saying that I am a big fan of the Asterix series. And I found these stories very entertaining. Though first published in English in 2003. This set of stories was originally published in French in 1996. And was a huge success.
The book contains fourteen tales, including: The day Asterix and Oblix were born; How Oblix goes back to school; Fashion in Ancient Gaul; How Dogmatix helps the village cockerel win a duel; How Dogmatix is adopted as a Roman mascot; Asterix as you have never seen him before; Obelix's adventures under the mistletoe; The bid for the first Gaulish Olympics; The story of the creation of Asterix; The family tree of Obelix; and much more. Pick up this fun and book.

I especially like seeing Oblix's family tree branching to the modern day. An enjoyable read.
