A review by wyrmbergmalcolm
Asterix and Obelix All at Sea by Albert Uderzo
5.0
We finally find out just why Getafix has not allowed Obelix to partake of the magic potion when Obelix goes ahead and does just that, with disastrous results. I loved it.
These books are full of bright, fun and delightful characters who go on various adventures and get to beat up a bunch of Roman soldiers. Accompanying the story and the characters is a plethora of clever puns and word play that the translators should get a medal for. There are always a few gags or phrases in Latin that may mean nothing to the non-Latin speakers (such as myself) but Google can lend a helping hand there.
