Helpful Score: 1

I lend this book to just about everyone who comes into my house. I've read and reread it and there is always some point in the story that will leave me misty eyed.

This is a narrative/pseudo-biography about Vladek Spiegelman's life during and after Auschwitz, and how his experiences have come to affect the lives of those around him. As you would expect with a graphic novel concerning the holocaust, a lot of parts are very graphic and unsettling.

The story is compelling, moving, and at times gut-retching. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you did not read this.
