The Complete Maus

"There are many things I like about this novel but I should start with the reason why it didn't reach the 5 stars and that was because the images and dialogue sometimes was extremely crowded and it wasn't as aesthetically appealing to me in the beginning. <br/>This doesn't mean that, in itself, it is a bad story. Quite on the contrary, I surprinsingly found myself crying by the end of it. There is something about the straightforwardness of the story and the way Art has to clash against his father in order to provide us the slightest sliver of it that really makes you wonder whether you are really connected to your closed ones or if that actually does matter. <br/>Maus is indeed a story of the holocaust, but more than that, it becomes a story of war itself and how it destroys or forges us as human beings. Independently of what year and what political story lies behind."
