This is the book that changed how average Americans thought about comic books. Until Maus<\/em> started becoming popular, comics were \u201cjust for kids.\u201d After Maus<\/em>, people started calling them \u201cgraphic novels.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maus<\/em> tells the story of Art Spiegelman\u2019s Jewish mother and father during the Holocaust and how they survived the concentration camp at Auschwitz. Don\u2019t be scared, though: the story is about humans surviving terrible things, not about showing<\/em> those terrible things. It also tells the story of Art\u2019s relationship with his father in the 1980s, and there are some humorous parts, too.<\/p>\n

Note: Art\u2019s father does not speak American English, he speaks eastern-European English, so this is a good book to practice reading World English, too.<\/p>\n

My two cents:<\/strong> This is a serious book, and it is a seriously good book. You should read it. Everyone should read it.<\/p>\n
