My Book Report

Obelix and co

There are 48 pages in the book`

I like it because it is funny and creative.  I reckon its suitable for 7yrs old and over. I got it from my dad who has had them since he was a kid. It’s a picture book but harder to read compared to the other picture books

Backstory

So basically obelix makes lots of menhir and the romans want to destroy the gauls so they  come up with a plan to distract obelix to be a big salesman with fancy clothes and to hire people to get boars for him to be the most influential man in the village but he’s not the only gaul that wants the money and the fame from the romans so they have a salesman fight and a couple of  fist fights along the way but do they stay like this and did the romans evil plot to bring the gauls to their knees?

So basically the gauls are a bunch of funny guys who love to destroy romans and they have a magical potion that makes them invincible the roman empire have been trying to destroy the gauls for as long as they have lived. They love hunting wild boars and romans they live right next to a forest they fight their own people sometimes over silly arguments also they live quite close to a roman army camp so they have lots of fights with many different roman armies.

Obelix

(Obélix in French) is a cartoon character and protagonist in the French comic book series Asterix. He works as a menhir sculptor and deliveryman, and is Asterix's best friend. Obelix is noted for his fatness, the menhirs he carries around on his back and his superhuman strength. He fell into a cauldron of the Gauls' magic potion when he was a baby, causing him to be the only Gaul in Asterix's village who is in a permanent state of superhuman strength. Because of this already enormous strength, Obelix is not allowed to drink the magic potion ever again, a ban he regards as being tremendously unfair. Other characteristics are his simple mindedness, his love and care for his dog Dogmatix, his anger when someone refers to him as being "fat", his enthusiasm for hunting and eating wild boars and beating up Romans. His catchphrase is: "Ils sont fous ces romains", which translates into "These Romans are crazy!", although he considers nearly every other nationality to be just as strange.

Asterix

Astérix) is a fictional character the titular hero of the French comic book series The Adventures of Asterix. The series portrays him as a diminutive but fearless Gaulish warrior living in the time of Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars. Asterix was created in 1959 by writer René Goscinny and illustrator Albert Uderzo. Since then, thirty-five books in the series have been released, with Uderzo taking over writing duties after the death of Goscinny in 1977. Asterix has also appeared in several animated and live-action film adaptations of the series, and serves as the mascot of the amusement park Parc Astérix. Before that he was also the mascot of the magazine Pilote.

In live-action films, the character was portrayed by Christian Clavier in Asterix & Obelix Take On Caesar and Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, by Clovis Cornillac in Asterix at the Olympic Games, and by Édouard Baer in Asterix and Obelix: God Save Britannia. The animated character has been voiced by British comedy actors Bill Oddie and Craig Charles and in an American dubbing by Henry Winkler, as well as that character voiced from 1990 to 1992 by British Voice artist Richard Pearce.
