Maus, by Art Spiegelman, is a fantastically put together graphic novel. This book is about the Holocaust, but is told in a much different manner compared to most Holocaust books. In this book the victims of the Nazi party are represented by mice and the Nazis themselves are represented as cats. The novel revolves around a father (mouse) telling his son, who wants to write a book, about his stories during the time of World War II. This story, even though it is told as a graphic novel, still has the same affect as reading a full fledged novel and keeps the readers attention the whole way through. I found that this book did a great job at showing the hardships of the war for everybody. I believe it also showed how poorly people were treated and really showed the reader how it was during this time. I plan on reading the second book and I would recommend this to a friend.
