I had to read this book for school and I wasn't sure I was going to like it, because I don't usually like graphic novels, but it was definitely a great read. I had trouble connecting to the characters, so I never got very invested in the story, but I still think it was worth reading and I would recommend it if you are looking for a serious/tense graphic novel.

First (only?) comic to win a Pulitzer award, it tells the story of a comic artist's father's harrowing experience of the holocaust, and how being rised by parents with such a traumatic past left the artist with deep scars of his own.
