Hi!
I recommend this book, it's another perspective on the tragedy of Holocaust. The drawings help you to better picture the situations and more easy to read comparing to a normal book.

I read this at the recommendation of a friend and it blew me away. It's an intense story and so well told, truly unforgettable. It's about a son trying to understand and do justice to the story of his father. I second this recommendation wholeheartedly.

Maus is not just a wonderful reflection of the holocaust itself but also about the lasting effects on survivors and their families. Art Spielgelman is drawing from personal experience; this graphic novel is truly from the heart. I always love to hear about people reading it because it's a truly noteworthy story.

I read Maus, but found it very depressing, since it discusses the issue of Holocaust. Could not finish it, even though it's illustrated well, and I normally finish every graphic novel that I start.

Can't wait to read this graphic novel as soon as I get a copy, so many people have told me how enduring piece it is. I suppose I'll have to steel myself as reading an alternative perspective on the Holocaust can be extremely depressing, but I hope to read it in the near future.

Couldn't finish either, tried last week. I think part of it was the mouse aesthetic and just narrative style not grabbing me.

This is a classic for me. I always suggest this to people who don't usually read comics or graphic novels and think of cartoons/superheroes when they think of the genre. I love the illustrations, not just one of my favourite graphic novels but one of my favourite books!

I really want to get my hands on Maus. I know that it deserves a lot but I haven't had the opportunity to actually start it yet.

One of my friends from college let me read her copy of Maus and I really liked it. In fact, I liked it so much that I ordered my own copy. It gave a new perspective on how the Houlocaust was perceived. I have only read it a couple of times, but I still really enjoyed the setup and the art.

I read this as a freshman in high school and my only regret was that I was not exposed to it earlier! Beautifully done, the art enhances the already poignant story to new heights. It also revealed early on who was racist in my class

I so badly want to read Maus, but buying it in print is so expensive! Does anyone have a good recommendation for where to borrow it online in an electronic format?

I agree with you. The mouse aesthetic is excellent. People from other parts of the world may find it funny, but for Germans, it's quite common for a man to call his girlfriend or wife a "Maus."
