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, this was one of my favourites and I borrowed it from the library all the time. As an adult, I'm a still happy to pick this one up.
