The Complete Maus

"Heavy. I think this is such an important book that everyone should read it, especially now. "

"Chilling "

"5/5: I loved this comic book and the depiction of the characters' ethnicities. I loved how unique the concept of the book was where Art Spiegelman told a story (His father's survival of the Holocaust) within a story (The process of drawing the comic and after the publication of the first book). I also appreciated the realness the author displayed in his story. He didn't hide the complicated relationship between him and his father nor the survivor's guilt that both men displayed. I think that because the author wrote and exhibited his story in such a raw, and honest way it made readers such as myself respect the book and feel connected to it. Wonderful work! "

"It was so real, it was such a great inside into what happened during the Holocaust from those who actually experienced it as a Jew. I enjoyed it so much "

"Very good read! Loved that it was like reading a comic !"

"Yeah I’m a really big ww2 history buff"

"A hard hitting book that I think everyone should read. I remember finding A copy of the first book in my dads storage and reading it when I was 10 and I found it incredibly eye opening. It sparked an interest in history I carry into adulthood."

"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."

"The original Maus is excellent. Right now, im reading (and loving) The Boy in the Field."
