I don't really read graphic novels and when dealing with the Holocaust that's a really risky format. <br /><br />I am adding this to my TBR and possibly to my to-buy list.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826716134008160506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-2977317072778511342012-04-28T04:23:56.606+01:002012-04-28T04:23:56.606+01:00I really love seeing artistic processes. I went to...I really love seeing artistic processes. I went to a photography exhibit recently that also displayed the contact sheets so you could see which particular shot the photographer chose. So seeing drafts of Maus would be right up my alley. And wow - that family tree is particularly effective, and heartbreaking.pickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906861942472773405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-32092161919262010132012-04-27T15:41:50.539+01:002012-04-27T15:41:50.539+01:00Yay!

I really didn't expect it to be as good as it was, but I still wanted to read it because of my Maus obsession, and then when I did I couldn't actually put it down! I actually have a backache from holding it for hours on end (it's quite heavy lol)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-42283659768236004252012-04-26T18:03:36.317+01:002012-04-26T18:03:36.317+01:00Yay! After I'd written it, I was like 'am ...Yay! After I'd written it, I was like 'am I just being a dickish smartarse?' but if I have your approval then all is well :). MAUS IS THE BEST THING EVER IN A TOTALLY RESPECTFUL WAY BUT I WOULD MUCH PREFER THAT IT HADN'T ALL ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND DIDN'T HAVE TO EXIST. Cause it feels wrong to just say it's amazing even though it is cause that feels disrespectful. Holocaust literature is very confusing.<br /><br />The Family tree is like the thing that has most shocked me ever. Because even though I *knew* like entire families were wiped out, seeing it laid out like that, it's just like, woah. :(<br /><br />ps Post your Maus post! I want to reeeeead!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-48717074003132323042012-04-26T17:51:49.310+01:002012-04-26T17:51:49.310+01:00After I get my little hands on Maus II, I need to ...After I get my little hands on Maus II, I need to find this book!
