Review # 1 was written on 2021-02-08 00:00:00 Daniel Barszcz �Lat�rnich! Recht hat er, der Dingsbums!� I read this line before I had ever been intoxicated and it made me laugh then. Now that I understand what it means to imbibe, it makes me howl with laughter every time I read it. Still one of the funniest stories I've ever read.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-25 00:00:00 Keith Fred First published in French in 1972 as Les Lauriers de C�sar, Asterix and the Laurel Wreath was first published in English in 1975. Vitalstatistix, in a drunken outburst, boasts to Impedimenta's pompous brother, Homeopathix, which he will have a dish prepared, made from Caesar's laurel wreath. Due to the honour and glory of the village, this now needs to be done, so Asterix and Obelix go to Rome, with the purpose of obtaining this item. Here they get up to all sorts of escapades to get hold of the laurel wreath, including selling themselves as slaves, spending a night in Julius Caesar's palace prison, and another visit to the arena of the Circus Maximus (see Asterix the Gladiator). In Rome they accidentally invent a recipe that provides an antidote to the ill effects of alcohol, thus setting in motion the eventual fall of the Roman Empire, (as the concoction will lead the Romans to feel free to indulge, forgetting that alcohol, unless taken in moderation is the father of all vices.) There are many jokes in the Asterix albums that will escape younger readers. That's what makes the Asterix books so interesting. There are always rather subtle jokes that you discover on another reading! This is one of the wittiest and most charming Asterix books.
