dark emotional sad medium-paced

3.5

even though the book's subject has been done countless times, maus somehow feels even more harrowing than most because of its characters' depiction as mice, cats, and pigs..like a graphic novel version of orwell's 1984. It was surreal seeing the spiegelmans disappear to the nazi's atrocities one by one. also appreciate the author's realistic and humanistic portrayal of his father.

despite being about an event that has been told in various forms countless times, this book still manages to be shocking, jarring, and evocative through the personal tale that illustrates people as complex beings and very impactful drawings. drawing the characters as animals is such a simple method, but it's surprisingly effective.
