Maus was a real-world effort that expressed in more than a literary form the realities of the Holocaust. Throughout this graphic novel, Spiegelman reinvents his father's human experience of true evil within a fascist-controlled Europe and the eventual movement to concentration/extermination camps, a literal hell on earth. I think this is a great book for all ages and an even better, vital rendition of one of humanity's darkest hours.
This was a great read for anyone who enjoys the outer-styles of literary art. This book also gave a great insight to the developments within day-to-day life for the average African American during the developing Civil Rights Movement.
A constantly evolving tale that rationalizes the concept of "innocent until proven guilty," while questioning the fairness of both the law and the judicial system, this book was an enjoyable read. The graphic novel version allowed for a speedy read and a visual aid which helped a lot. I think many people of any age would enjoy and appreciate the questions about our society being presented in such a bold manner.
