Very funny adventure - By: KN, 18 Mar 2008 
This is easily one of the best Asterix stories.
It begins with Getafix competing against his peers at the druids contest, & winning. Then we are introduced to the Goths, a warrior race bent on conquest but somewhat lackingin brains. Having spied on the druids contest, they kidnap Getafix for his magic potion.
Things don't turn out as planned for the Goths, as Asterix, Obelix & Getafix manipulate the different Gothic tribes to turn on each other. First, with the magic potion, & then without it. The Goths are too dense & busy fighting each other to notice the effects wearing off!
This leads to mayhemin Germania that lasts for years, keeping them out of Gaul. A brilliant story.
Very busy adventure - By: Lou Knee, 28 Aug 2007 
An adventure full of the confusiion & chaos of war: the Gothic wars. This is definitely one of the funniest of the books & will rate highly with a lot of fans. You can also sense the French creators enjoying the obvious satirical opportunity they have before them.
An exciting Asterix adventure among the Goths - By: , 11 Sep 2004 'Asterix & the Goths' is the third of 31 adventures published between 1961 & 2001; This adventure is from 1963. This is the first of many books where Asterix & Obelix travel to another country & make fun of the ideas we have about that nation. Getafix the Druid attends the Druid Conference at the Forest of the Carnutes. A raiding party of Goths is watching the Conference (like Druid 'Oscars') to kidnap a Druid to help their cause. Asterix & Obelix must follow the Goths to set things right. Like all Asterix adventures this story works, on slightly different levels, for both children & adults. This is a comedy of confusion. The Romans have confused the Gauls with the Goth's. The Gothic chieftans are plotting against each other. The Gauls are playing on the suspicion of all the leaders, playing groups off against each other. The drawings are polished, compared to the crude colouringin the original 1974 UK edition. The new edition wonderfully re-inks & re-colours the story. The drawings are sharp & the colours are bright. An enjoyable & interesting story.
Funniest comics ever - By: Saravanan(tensor_vector@yahoo.co.uk), 20 Nov 2001 This is THE bestin Asterix comics. After Getafix gave the magic potion to some Goths the story briefly outline the history of clash between all goths.
It was So funny & sometimes I used to think that it was a satirical attack on the modern wars.
It is a must for Asterix lovers
