5.0

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 often borrowed this one from the library. As an adult, I'm still happy to pick this one up. I think this might have been the first volume that I ever read in English.

"Avec des si on mettrait Lutèce en amphore"

Bien que toujours une bonne lecture, cet épisode pâlit un peu par rapport à ses prédecesseurs. L'histoire engage moins par rapport aux autres, et vu que nos compères changent sans cesse de ville l'histoire prend aussi un peu le pas sur les gags parfois. Content de l'avoir lu mais pas mon Astérix préféré.
