Shalom All!

March's book is 'The Complete Maus'. A graphic novel to break it up a bit.
Enjoy!

I read it. It's amazing!

One of the best two volumes I have ever read on the Holocaust. There's also a brilliant book out about the making of Maus, with early drawings and how it evolved and why. The name Escapes me but I'll look it up.

I've added this one to my TBR.

I remember seeing the title- is this a novel or in comic form.
Its so familiar- I could just look it up myself- :)
You may know more about it than what the synopsis might say.

It appears to be in comic form ... although the topic is certainly not "comic". I am intrigued by the concept - my first graphic novel, excepting Asterix et Obelix and TinTin, and also by the fabulous ratings.

Maus was the first graphic novel i ever read and i was amazed by how powerful i found it to be. Subsequently i have read many effective and powerful graphic novels and have tried to get my book club to do one so far to no avail.

I'm thinking I may have the same aversion as the
members in your book club :)
It cant hurt to try it.

It took me a long time before I read a good graphic book, and I read a couple that weren't, first. I haven't read Maus. But one of the first I did read was from this book club: The Rabbi's Cat. From its first year I think!

One of the first that's good, I mean. It was excellent. Funny, too.

This is a classic now. A must read for anyone interested. Unique, profound, insightful.
