Full disclosure, I grew up on this series so my opinion is necessarily biased.

I'm of the view that there is no such thing as a bad Asterix book ... but some volumes, like this one, are just okay.

As a child, I often borrowed this one from the library. As an adult, I'm still happy to pick this one up but it won't be the first adventure I reach for.
