The Complete Maus

It was really good. I loved the way it is was written, sort of meta at some points which was really nice. It grounded the story even more in a reality than it already was. It tells the story of a Jewish WWII survivor personally, and it's so emotional. When volume II began and the author was telling about how the father had died and he was having trouble continuing the story, it's just felt so much. Really really liked it. Super sad, but also kind of cathartic. It was really easy to get into and I didn't at all mind the way people were drawn with different animal faces depending on what nationality they were. It was a nice way to show certain things, and how when a jew would disguise themselves as Polish officers, they would be drawn as wearing a pig-mask. I just really dig the way it was told and the honesty in the way the son had grown up with a survivor who had sometimes been a pretty harsh father, and he wasn't maybe particularly fond of him. But he wanted to tell the story and, ahh, okay I just really liked it.
