Maus is a haunting tale within a tale, weaving the author’s account of his tortured relationship with his aging father into an astonishing retelling of one of history's most unspeakable tragedies. It is an unforgettable story of survival and a disarming look at the legacy of trauma. Review: Colorful book - It is a very colorful book with high-quality paper-excellent for getting young people interested in reading and history, as it is designed in a comic-book format. It is easy to carry to school and easy to handle. Review: A Must-Read Historical Masterpiece that Transcends Genre - This is the second part of the Maus series, starting with Vladek's entrance into Auschwitz. This series, based on true events, transcends the medium in which it is told: a graphic novel. It is unfortunate that many people may be intimidated or make false judgements of the book's contents based on the fact that it is a graphic novel. It's not a children's book, nor is it aimed only at those who enjoy "comic book" type stories. I, personally, am not attracted to the graphic novel genre, but this book is a masterpiece and as important an historical documentation of the Holocaust experience as "Schindler's List" and the "Diary of Anne Frank," as controversial as that sounds. Indeed, I was first introduced to it in an academic context at the college level in an Historical Literature class, if that lends a modicum of validity. Furthermore, Maus goes beyond the concentration camp, elucidating Vladek's post-holocaust experiences in America, with his American-born son, Art Spiegelman, the author of the book. There we see Vladek as a broken, disconnected man shaped by his harrowing holocaust experiences, creating a gulf of understanding and much tension between him and Art. They both struggle to understand one another. But the book is not all gloom and doom. It is narrated often in an amusing way, thanks to the eccentricities of peccadilloes of Vladek. The graphic novel medium makes the tale a quick but powerful read. In fact, I cajoled my mother, someone traditional and somewhat closed-minded about anything different, into reading this and I think she read it in a five hour binge, because she couldn't put it down. Now if that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is. Though the Holocaust has long since past and many survivors are no longer with us, those survivors' experiences are still alive and well in the ripple-effect that has cascaded through their progeny, for better or worse; a truth explored in Maus I and II. This is one of the best pieces of literature I have come across and whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone who actively seeks out books that aren't steaming piles of crapola. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #13,366 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #30 in Jewish Holocaust History #118 in World War II History (Books) #482 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,870 Reviews | ## Images ![Maus II: A Survivor's Tale: And Here My Troubles Began (Pantheon Graphic Library) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/915x3WpB1oL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Colorful book *by M***Z on May 28, 2026* It is a very colorful book with high-quality paper-excellent for getting young people interested in reading and history, as it is designed in a comic-book format.
