Reception of Maus

Reception of Maus, I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History:

      An overall census taken from a great number of reviews have deemed the general reception of the book to be very powerful, incredible and inspiring. A story of a father who had to survive and endure Nazi Germany during WWII, talking his way out of situations and being able to come through no matter what obstacle was put in his way, has generated a truly phenomenal read. The book was received in a positive light by almost if not all communities, showing the diversity of readers who chose this book. It not only depicted the story of a father and son in Nazi Germany, but it is also gave a very accurate display of the history of the events that occurred, leading to the rise of Hitler as well as during his reign.
