It is indeed an artist's creation.Based on the all time legendary hero Asterix and his faithfulfriend and companion Obelix, this book has more twists and turns than a bowlful of sphagette! When the old druid Getafix gets injured and cannot make health portion which gives the gauls superhuman strength, their chief is challanged by another chief. If Vitalstatistix loses, he would lose the whole village! However, when Vitalstatistix becomes assured that the druid has been revived, he literally knocks his opponent out of his boots! The determination of Asterix to revive the druid and his loyalty to the chief has left an indelible impression on my mind. Like in all the other Asterix books, the Gauls are fearless and powerful. They fear nothing except the sky falling on their heads. Cacofonix is as tuneless as ever, and Fulliautomatix the blacksmith too is as rough and funny as ever. Dogmatix(he cries when trees are cut) has his own charm, and Asterix has lived upto expectations, All this has been strung together to make an engrossing book. This book is fun, floric and totally hilarious! I read it a long time ago, but its memory still 'lingers on to the inward of my eye, and my heart with pleasure fills.' Given the form of a film book, it is truly an artist's creation.I highly recommend it.

This is the film version of "Asterix and the Big Fight" -- buy that one, not this -- it's just a rehash.

I love it!
