WOW! Simply wow! This was one of the few accounts I've read on the Holocaust, but the graphic representation of Maus just added that touch of vivid expression - the metaphors of the animal heads, the masks and the imagery of other metaphors were deeply moving. 
 The narration came across as authentic, heartfelt and real - a son portraying his father as he saw him, yet coming to terms with his past and his own freedom. 
 Made me think and ponder at times and pause with shock at other times. The suffering, the pain, grief and the horror of the situation..... deeply moving and humbling and shock at how humans treated other humans this way!! Left me in deep thought over the destructive potential of nature of our species...
