A review by wyrmbergmalcolm
Asterix in Switzerland by René Goscinny, Albert Uderzo
5.0
Now it's off to Switzerland for our daring duo, this time to get a special ingredient for a cure for a poisoned Roman tax collector. Highlights for me were the cheese fondue orgy, Obelix jumping off the ship when the Swiss start yodelling and the sneeze that nearly caused an unfortunate accident.
CUCKOO!!!
These books are full of bright, fun and delightful characters who go on various adventures and get to beat up a bunch of Roman soldiers. Accompanying the story and the characters is a plethora of clever puns and word play that the translators should get a medal for. There are always a few gags or phrases in Latin that may mean nothing to the non-Latin speakers (such as myself) but Google can lend a helping hand there.
