challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense

I don't feel comfortable rating this, but I did want to make a "review" to say I enjoyed this. I read both parts in a single day. I liked the present-day-to-flashback thing that was going on. I think adding in how Mr.  Spiegelman is in the present caused reflection on how the Holocaust experiences affect the survivors.

Wow. I'm speechless. I'd wanted to read this for so long, and it exceeded every expectation I had. Such a raw story. Very emotional and thought-provoking. I don't understand how and why this has been banned in some places – in no way could this book ever promote n*zism in a good way. Everyone should read this; massive content warnings for everything related to the Holocaust and WW2 though. Still, very important.

A must read. This novel is shocking, heartbreaking, and incredibly important. As a Junior in high school, I hope this is made into a must-read book for all high schools.
