Maus

Maus was an interesting book(s). The story is set around the time of WW2 at Poland (like all WW2 stories and movies), but with the difference that all of the characters are personified as animals. In the story, it was made that the people from each country where designed as a different animal, like Poland are mice, Germany where cats and so on. I didn't enjoyed the second book very much, because of the tragedies that happened in the story. For some reason, when I was reading the book, I kept thinking of Anna Frank.

Blankets

Blankets was quite a serious serious story. At the beginning, I was having trouble understanding what was happening and telling apart the present with flashbacks, but I soon manage to keep up with the story. I found the story not very thrilling and was quite dark and suspenseful, but it wasn't at a level I couldn't read which helped at managing to read through it all. I liked the character designs, because the gestures and expressions where easy to read, helping me understand what they where feeling. The other thing that made keep reading the book was probably because I felt a little sympathy for the main character's situation (but not in a way that I would relate to him).

(P.S.- I couldn't find the other book, A Contract with God, in the library.)

Little Nemo

This post is about the book of Little Nemo. At the beginning, I had trouble understanding what was happening in the stories, but after a while I started understanding. I notice that all of the stories ended with a panel of someone in bed, telling us that almost everything that's happening to Nemo were all dreams. I found it to be good, but the stories didn't interested me.
