mrs_a_is_a_book_nerd's review against another edition
I wanted to like this book... I'm not generally a fan of graphic novels, but I like holocaust fiction, and this is considered a classic, so I grabbed it as part of my summer reading... oof. It was an interesting account-- what seemed to be biographical/autobiographical. It was as much about the author wrestling with some of his own demons and struggling to have a relationship with his father as it was about his father's holocaust experiences. For a holocaust book, it was pretty typical.

I likes the idea of representing the Jews as mice and the nazis as cats, it was different but it worked very well.

Got me choked up in so many places. Here's to Vladek Spiegelman and his unimaginable resilience.
