Is It Worth Buying? We recently got our hands on the Maus I & II Paperback Box Set, and it did not disappoint. This graphic novel stands out because it tells powerful stories about life during the Holocaust, blending personal history with larger historical events. The artwork, in stark black and white, complements the rich narrative and makes the reading experience both intense and engaging.
As we flipped through the pages, we appreciated how the book doesn’t shy away from difficult subjects. The dual narrative structure, where a son interviews his father about past horrors, adds depth and emotional weight. Some parts can feel heavy or intimidating, but the story is so compelling that it keeps you turning the pages. It’s more than just a graphic novel; it’s an honest reflection on history that stays with you long after reading.
