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 pretty good.

As a child, I borrowed this one now and again. As an adult, still happy to pick it up.

That was good fun as usual.
A soothsayer comes to the village during a storm and creates trouble as everyone starts taking him seriously.
A good few laughs, and always nice to dive into the world of Astérix and Obelix for an hour.
