thewordsdevourer's review against another edition

dark reflective sad medium-paced

3.25

this book deserves more than 5 stars for its historical and moral values, but it gets 3 stars from me when considered from a "like" standpoint. the historical events and details depicted are sickening and horrific, where death is all-encompassing. the drawings and the metaphors are impactful and utilized very effectively. i also admire the way the author portrays his father, a complex man whose resourcefulness, wit, and luck saved him, but whose thoughts and habits in his aging years can be frustrating. th second volume of maus is an important work of both art and history.
