dark emotional funny informative sad tense medium-paced

5.0

A wonderful, sad, and realistic-feeling story of what many jewish people during the war went through. I appreciate the real survivalist outlook it gave me- that those who helped weren’t even that nice, it was about money. And hearing what the post-war did to many. The personality the author gave to these families was well done, and emotional. I cant wait to read part II.

This graphic novel follows a man interviewing his dad about his survival of the Holocaust, with the intent of creating the comic that the reader is currently experiencing. Amidst the heavy topic covered, there’s humor woven into the present day as well. The characters are nuanced and have their own flaws that create their own problems. The character Voice was incredibly strong and I really felt as if I read a full story. I’ve already requested the next volume from my library.

read this for school and i still have no clue why Maus is a banned book. it's such a unique way to bring up and discuss the events of the Holocaust and was very straightforward with it. if you like WWII literature and enjoy graphic novels, check this one out!

This book is touching and raw with difficult subject matter, but it is easy to read. You feel every emotion presented and you learn about these people in a fascinating way. The art style is beautiful and the message behind this is phenomenal. I can’t wait to read the next one.
