Review:
Asterix and the Big Fight is a comic book set in ancient Roman times in a Gaulish village that has not yet been defeated by the Romans. The secret to the Gaul’s success is a magic potion brewed by the Druid Getafix, that makes the villagers invincible. Gallo-Roman chief, Cassius Ceramix, challenges the villager’s chief, Vitalstatistix, to a fight. The winner of the fight will become the chief of the loser’s village. When the Druid Getafix is hit in the head with a menhir by Asterix’s best friend, Obelix – the Menhir delivery man, he goes absolutely crazy and loses his memory. Asterix realises that Getafix will not be able to make any magic potion for the big fight.
What will they do? Will they be able to get some magic potion before the fight?
Asterix and the Big Fight is the 7th book in the Asterix series. I enjoyed this book because it contains comedy and adventure. I would recommend this book for people aged 7 and up.
