Horrifying yet funny; unforgettable portrayal of the grim realities from the Holocaust, sprinkled with scenes from a tense father-son relationship.
Maus is so important, I'd highly recommend it to everyone.

Wow.

There are so few words for so many emotions.
I don't want to review because this book isn't about me. It isn't for me. This isn't my healing. But I'm grateful that it was shared despite the heartache.

Just know that you should read it. I don't care if you don't like comics. I don't care if you think you're above reading a book with illustrations of mice/cats/pigs in place of humans. Read it.
