And I could tell that they were, and yet, I needed both parts to feel like it was complete. I guess it's the desire for a happy ending, huh? @Nymeth:

And you're right, this story wouldn't work in any other medium. Not the same way. I read them together and I also really can’t imagine one without the other.

I'm in Australia and I had a hard time finding graphic novels--I wanted to give them a try. They had this one and Persepolis. But they are good if you ever get them. Definitely read Maus I before Maus II. Like I said, I can't imagine reading them at different times! @Myrthe: Where are you?

Recently I found the 2nd part of Maus in our local bookshop (the only one that carries an albeit small but reasonable assortment in English), but since they didn't have part I (and I don't know if they ever will), I didn't buy it. Unfortunately, that's the way I have to think living in a country with limited access to good books. :-( I have heard so many good things about Maus!
