Great way for a young audience to engage with something very difficult.
I could write thousands of words expressing my feelings and they wouldn't be enough. This book took me on an emotional journey and made me feel things I thought I wasn't capable of feeling. I laughed, smiled, cried, bawled and at times, just sat in awe, holding the book in my hand. The horror of the Holocaust juxtaposed with a man's relationship with his father who survived it; this is a tale that will resonate for generations. It is the most human thing I have ever read and dare I say, one of the most honest accounts of one of the darkest periods in human history.
Told through tiny squares on a page, Maus creeps into the recesses of your mind and your heart and when it is finally over, you find yourself more than what you were before. It has taken its place as one of my favourite and dearest stories ever. I hope everyone who reads, experiences this monumental piece of work at least once in his or her life. It is an epic story, told on such a small scale that one forgets that one watches history unfold before them in a manner that was hitherto unknown.
Read this, please. Just read it and later on, find yourself changed.

More than enough has been said about this - essential read for anyone interested in this period of history, and the legacy of trauma in family dynamics

The comic that made academics take the form seriously.
The objectivism and honesty with which this book was written is unparalleled in the world of creative nonfiction. Incredible.
