I bought this product and then later found both Maus I and Maus II, together in one book and for the same price, at my school bookstore. I would recommend buying both in one package to save money.
It is a well told story and is worth the read. I would recommend "American Born Chinese" if you like the style of this book. |

| I've used Maus in my classroom for two years now and it's a wonderful book to introduce students to a serious topic using an easily accessible format. It leads to a nice study of the holocaust, allows students to explore the ideas of discrimination, generational differences and using pictures to share a story. |

 "It's a comic book, but not kid-friendly" | 2009-09-15 |

This was required 7-th grade reading for my daughter, but since it is a sensitive subject, I read the book to together with her. Also, in Massachusetts the state education curriculum doesn't touch world history until 9th grade, so she had no clue what any of the historical references were. Therefore for each page that took 10 seconds to read (it's in comic book format), we probably spent 5 minutes in explanation of what was going on.
Bottom line: if you are familiar with the history of the Holocaust, this book is an interesting take on the subject. If you have not studied WWII, the book will be confusing. |

| "A Groundbreaking Work in its Genre" | 2009-06-11 |

'Maus' is a graphic novel about a Holocaust survivor/victim and his son. This visual imagery evokes more feeling than most traditional books about the Holocaust.
The book deals with the son's anger with his mother for her suicide and towards his dad for his very essence which he must maintain as a 'survivor'. The son can not comprehend what is behind his father's history, yet anger is the most prevalent emotion he directs towards his father.
Jews are portrayed as mice, nazis as cats and Poles as pig. The power of this novel is stupendous. It is one of the earliest graphic novels and, as such, groundbreaking in its genre. |
