Abstract
This is the book that changed how average Americans thought about comic books. Until Maus started becoming popular, comics were “just for kids.” After Maus, people started calling them “graphic novels.”
Maus tells the story of Art Spiegelman’s Jewish mother and father during the Holocaust and how they survived the concentration camp at Auschwitz. Don’t be scared, though: the story is about humans surviving terrible things, not about showing those terrible things. It also tells the story of Art’s relationship with his father in the 1980s, and there are some humorous parts, too.
Note: Art’s father does not speak American English, he speaks eastern-European English, so this is a good book to practice reading World English, too.

Description
My two cents: This is a serious book, and it is a seriously good book. You should read it. Everyone should read it.
