By Toutatis, we will find that sickle.

What I Loved

Asterix and the Golden Sickle shows fun in the city of Lutetia. Asterix stays smart in tough spots. Obelix eats a lot and fights Romans with ease. The drawings by Uderzo add life to the jokes. Goscinny writes word play that makes readers smile. The plot moves fast with chases and tricks. It pokes fun at city life and greed. Each page holds a laugh or surprise. The friends work as a team. This book builds on the first one with more action.

Key Takeaway

Friends help each other to solve problems.
