emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

I originally learnt about this book because of the possible banning it was going through. I'm not a huge fan of comics and graphic novels, but this one is a masterpiece, and I think everyone should read it if they have the opportunity. It's a great way to learn about the Holocaust from a survivor's perspective.

It's a fast read, it felt like I was breezing through it. I also loved the meta aspect of it, with the author showing his struggles while writing this book, and leaving in the crankiness of his father, even if it makes him, at times, unlikable.

This is a book about the holocaust. Even though the drawings are cartoonish and nothing too explicit is drawn, it is still full of possibly triggering elements.
