I don’t star rate these types of books but this book was such an important read to me.

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 book is a masterpiece. The Holocaust is something no one would ever truly be able to put into words but Art does the best job anyone could. It’s real, emotional and educational. The art is great, the symbolism is powerful and it tackles a very difficult topic very well. This book should never ever be banned; it is one of the most important books ever written
