 The silliest and weakest story August 28, 2007
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Sorry to disagree with all the others here but this one just puzzles me. I didn't recognise the type of story at all when I first read it many moons ago, and I still don't, when I look at it now. The art work is just as good as it was, maybe better, but the story is terrible, in my opinion. It is principally, the same idea used in The Legionary, but this time with Asterix (instead of Obelix) falling in love with a woman unobtainable. Now that I know it was the first one made by Uderzo alone, after the death of the excellent writer, Goscinny, this helps explain the complete lack of direction and discipline here, that led to the silly scenes and total collapse of the original narrative, midway through the book. The next book did show he radically improved as a story writer, to match his spendid drawings.
 Obelix just loves a happy ending June 10, 2002

Asterix and Obelix, along with Getafix set off on adventure 26 to a village not unlike their own, or is it? Something fishy is a foot. The village has been divided, Cleverdix and Majestix both wanting to be chief of the whole village. Can Asterix sort out this civil disorder before the Roman's take them all as slaves? Who will be chief of the village? Will true love win this time?

Only in 52BC could you read about the future differences of one people to another. If only everyone read it and learned from its prophetic notions.It marks the first one-way system in the universe

This was the 1st asterix book I read as a young child, and started the love affair I now have with Asterix. The story is one of love overcoming family differences, and, as you'd expect, Asterix and Obelix sort out evryone's problems with just a little help from their magic potion. Buy this book now!
