Format:Paperback
This is probably the most moving and touching book I have read and I implore anyone and everyone to read it. You will laugh and cry, sometimes in the space of a few pages, not many books have that effect on an reader! Spiegleman has created a masterpiece that fully desreves the many accolades that it has garnered over the years both individually and with it's predecessor, My Father Bleeds History. Possibly the most definative, and human account in any form of the nature and also the effects of the holocaust. The authors use of animals serves further to heuighten the readers guilt that as a race we allowed something like this to happen..the animlas highlight just how we all, not just like the germans behaved over the jewish situation and we continue to behave all over the world today.

Forget all you know about comics. The is literature without peer in the struggle to find a way to respond to the Shoah that has poisoned Europe this century. Art Spiegleman tells his father's story in such a way as to reveal the grief of the post-Holocaust generation. The pictures are the most perfect black-and-white, the issues never so. Beautiful drawings in the tradition of European woodcuts, horror in the tradition of our dark continent. Everyone on Earth should read this book.
Format:Paperback
The way of drawing charachters and objects, the dialogues and the plot enter in the reader's heart in deep. The book not only describes the persecution of jews but also the signs that this period has left on them after the war had finished. And the fact that people are represented as animals gives a surreal atmosphere that underlines the foolishness of the holocaust.
