Editorial Reviews

San Francisco Examiner
The power of Spiegelman's story lies in the fine detail of the story and the fact that it is related in comic-strip form.
From The Critics

    Excellent Format about the Holocaust

    Maus 2 is now about Vladek Spiegelman in the concentration camp of Auschwitz. From there we see how Spiegelman acts very cautious of every step he takes in order to stay alive and protect his family. This book even shows more different races in the camps like Germans, Poles, and French civilians. I even got to see the horror of living in the camps and cruel treatments the Nazis put on the Jews and other prisoners. At the end of the book, I realized why the author picked animals to depict the different races in that time period so you can understand better how the Holocaust was on an individual and the actions displayed in the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who like history and wants to know more about the Holocaust. I personally learned about a lot more of the Holocaust that I would never imagined. This is probably one of my favorite books and I just can't stop talking about it. I highly recommend this book to people who just love reading.

    Maus 2

    This is the second part of Art Spiegelman famous books called Maus part 2. Nazi-occupied Poland. The Nazis, portrayed as cats, gradually introduce increasingly repressive measures, until the Jews, drawn as mice, are systematically hunted and herded toward the Final Solution. Vladek saves himself and his wife by a combination of luck and wits, all the time enduring the torment of hunted outcast. The other theme of this book is Art's troubled adjustment to life as he, too, bears the burden of his parents' experiences. This is a complex book. It relates events which young adults, as the future architects of society, must confront, and their interest is sure to be caught by there awesome graphics and cool pictures. I think this would be a perfect book for any teacher that reading about the holocaust. Also good just to read by your self.

    AP world history book review

    Maus 1 and 2 are both great books describing the events of the holocaust and what it was like for the people enduring it. The story is about Art Spiegelman and how he interviews his father to build up a great story for the comic that he is writing. He goes into a vivid description of how he got married to a girl named Anja, and how he was a textile salesman before the events of the Holocaust took place.Then they went into hiding and eventually were captured by the nazis and taken to a concentration camp. Maus one and two are great for anyone who wants to learn a little history but in an infamiliar fashion, with it being a graphic novel and all. These are great books for anyone in high school that wants to find a more interesting way to learn history and i highly recommend them.

    Ap World History Review

    Art Spiegelman, the author of the Maus series, is an amazing writer and cartoonist. In this series he puts his father's and his own experiences in the form of a graphic novel. The main character Artie, who is also a cartoonist visits his father often to learn about the experiences that his father and mother went through in the time of World War II and the Holocaust. Seeing as Artie's mother is dead, because of suicide, his father is the only parent to recount this information. His father begins by explaining how he had met Artie's mother and continues his story explaining the hard and difficult times that he and his wife went through. The real reason that they were able to survive had been Artie's father wit and the fact that they were rich and possessed many valuable things. Though that saved them from dying, but they didn't escape all the horrors that others faced. Examples of this would be concentration camps, Auschwitz, and labor towns, where the Nazis killed Jews and protesters methodically.



    This book is both touching and sad, but it really informs the reader about the time period and the long term effects that are present in a family that goes through it. After the Holocaust Artie's mother committed suicide leaving his father, Vladek, alone with his son. Throughout the whole ordeal he loses most of his family members, including his son, Richieu. In the end all he is really left with is his son, so he becomes depressed and burns Anje's journals. At that Artie gets angry because that was his last real tie to his mother, and his father destroyed it. This book shows real emotion and thoughts from the characters making it amazing. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to know what the Holocaust was like and the effect it had on the people who experienced it.

    Maus II:a tragic tale of a family in the holocaust

    Maus 2 was a great continuation of the first book. Just like the first Maus book I started reading it and couldn't put it down. The drawings are very detailed and make the story easy to understand. The book is about the author himself, Art Spiegelmann who is referred to as Artie, interviewing his father Vladek about the Holocaust and the stories he had to tell. Even though when you first glance at the book you might think it is an easy read or something a child may read it is really not. A lot of the parts in the book are intense and give you a good look at what it was like to be a Jew in the holocaust. The story of how Vladek got separated from his wife is heartbreaking and shows how their love was still strong even when times got rough. It is fascinating how cruel people can be to one another and how savage the Nazis really were. How desperate people were for scraps of food or things we take for granted like for example a spoon or a simple belt was very well demonstrated. Something I loved about this book was how the Jewish people were drawn as mice and the Nazis were drawn as cats. All in all I really recommend this engaging book.

    Wow

    The narration supports the three commic book styles while using parallel storylines that intertwine. The use of animals exumes the author's theme.
