Favourite quote

A chief must prove his strength.

What I Loved

Asterix and the Big Fight keeps the series fun with a new challenge for the village. Asterix stays smart to solve problems without potions. Obelix remains strong and eats much. The Roman plans fail in funny ways. Uderzo draws fights and faces with life. Goscinny adds jokes on names like Vitalstatistix. The plot turns with surprises like memory loss. It shows how friends help in hard times. Each part builds more action and humour. The Gauls win with team work. This book adds to the series with leadership tests. The art shows big battles well. The words flow easy for quick read. The end brings joy to the village.

Key Takeaway

True strength comes from wits and friends, not just power.
