  Major Spoilers - Stephen Schleicher

  50 years ia a really big deal, and I'm glad the characters have been embraced the way they have around the world. There is something special in the Asterix and Obelix tales, but unfortunately, The Birthday volume is not one of them. I've certainly read worse books, and this one doesn't even come close to being down at that level. Instead, I'm giving this book 3 out of 5 Stars. It's worth a read if you love the characters, but not something you'll be picking up on a yearly basis for a quick read. Read Full Review
