challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.75

Maus is a beautiful graphic biography of Art Speigelman's father's experience during the holocaust as a survivor. This book is just stunning and every single person on this Earth has to read this book. I personally believe it should be made essential reading due to how important these topics are. The book is also not trying to glorify his father, even though he was a survivor, he is still flawed. Most history textbooks will only share an experience by the mass, but this is a personal experience that has such significant impact.
