Maus

Maus was a very enjoyable read. For me, if felt very much as though I were reading an actual book. Usually, I very much hate reading stories that have to do with the Nazis. I tend to feel that the stories are far too depressing. However, the way the writer went about it; Him writing about the time WHILE he was writing his comic as the father spoke about his tale, was very interesting and even lessened the usual dark edge to these stories. The fact that he drew them as mice probably helped a lot with that too, making it a little more friendly for those who are probably just starting to learn about the Nazi camps. The art was simple, not overly impressive, but it did manage to convey everything it wanted to.
