dark emotional hopeful reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

Harrowing story of a Jewish man in Europe living through the Second World War.
Art Spiegelman is an excellent story teller and the medium of graphic novel adds so much to the experience.
Highly recommend.

This is perhaps one of the best graphic novels I've ever read! Brilliantly created, deeply emotional, and a total page turner despite the subject matter.

5.0

the book worked really well in every way. the artwork, the pacing, the shifts between then and 'now' – it just made it all the more real
