Title: A Stunning Visual Masteriece
Review: As the old phrase goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, and no book better shows that than Maus. I have read several books focusing on the Holocaust, and none better describes it than this. Yet Maus is not to be classified simply as a chronicle of WWII; it brilliantly portrays other matters as well, such as paranoia and suicide. Though it is captured in just a few pictures, the scene where Vladek is fighting for Poland is the best portrayal of the guilt and instinct associated with war I have ever seen. Whether you like comic strips or not, this is a book to have on your shelf.
