A review by eve_ross_artist
The Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman

dark emotional informative sad tense slow-paced

4.0

These two books were amazing. You can really see that Art Spiegelman put hours upon hours of thought into portraying his father’s story and it just makes the story conveyed so much more powerful. Amazing books, definitely recommend (these are a bit graphic, especially in Maus II, so I wouldn’t recommend for younger people. These books were assigned to me for school in my third year of high school.) Very well written and drawn.
