Asterix et Latraviata (French edition of Asterix and the Actress)

Rating:
Summary: Just the wait makes it worth it!
Review: After 5 years...an Asterix! One full of surprises, what with Asterix and Obelix's parents suddenly making their appearance (apparently they had been living in Condatum all along). Definitely the best of the Uderzo-only efforts, and some of the Goscinny-Uderzo magic is back. Some good punning, though I dont know how he missed an obvious opportunity in the scene where Latraviata is presented an award for acting (Oh it looks just like my uncle oscarus!). There's no point in my recommending this book - you dont buy Asterix unless you grew up with it, and if you grew up with Asterix, you'd buy this anyway no matter what I say! That apart, a thoroughly enjoyable read. Keep 'em coming, Uderzo!
