I also love gareth's reviews, but I differ with his opinion on some books. For example, I find asterix and the golden sickle the most boring asterix book, and gareth found it 'good'.
Anyway, it's a great site and with an original twist :)
I like the book, I would not say it was boring. But that is the thing we all have our own opinions. It would be a very boring place if we all liked and agreed on the same thing.
I like that site very much. I actually found this forum thanks to it. And you just have to applaud him for having the guts to say, that "Asterix" isn't just for children after all.
