I wasnt' going to say, but, since two people have asked, I didn't care for Maus. I only read a few pages of it but it just didn't click for me, it seemed to be a lot of dialogue which makes me batty. I know it's won awards and such, it just wasn't for me. The book I enjoyed was Ethel and Ernest by Raymond Briggs. It was lovely! <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_and_Ernest<br /><br />Anna, it was unusual, but it worked!<br /><br />Iliana, thank you! I didn't care for Maus, I only read a few pages of it. I'm okay with holocaust subject matter, it was the fact that it was graphic and there was a lot of dialogue that put me off.<br /><br />Carrie, do you? I hope you like this.<br /><br />Staci, I bet you would too!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-43653163562030992742009-07-20T21:36:37.859-05:002009-07-20T21:36:37.859-05:00I haven't heard of this one but I love graphic...I haven't heard of this one but I love graphic novels so I think I would probably really enjoy it!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-69469831927476132562009-07-20T17:41:15.998-05:002009-07-20T17:41:15.998-05:00I enjoy the graphic memoir genre - I'm really ...I enjoy the graphic memoir genre - I'm really hoping to get a chance to read this soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-8048315507169493372009-07-20T17:24:00.269-05:002009-07-20T17:24:00.269-05:00Great review Tara!
