To my surprise, I had not read this book! I am now subscribing all of Asterix's books to my daughter and re-living my childhood days by re-reading some of her books (however, the blog posts are only for the ones which I had not read). This book's a ripper, had to stifle my laugh at many places! The story is pretty complicated with mutineers, pirates, Caesar's galley, Roman's galley, etc. but Uderzo and Goscinny have outclassed themselves. And I guess this is the only book where Obelix drinks the magic potion - now who would want to miss out reading such an improbable event...!
