Maus, A Survivor's Tale displays the life of the persecuted Jews in a way anybody can understand. The pictures provide all the details that are usually lacking in a graphic novel. I found the book touching and memorable.

To Draw A Blank is a completely illogical tale about a graphic novelist written in his point of view. His father is kidnapped and he has to go to the U.K. to rescue him. The events seem to occur only to make the life of the author as horrible as possible. I found the unrealistic quality unnerving. I couldn't even find a deep-down moral to the story. However the book does show the personal growth of the protagonist and the interspersed comic strips provide more information on the state of the main character than any of the actual text. It also does have an unexpected but satisfying ending.

This book is a wonderful romance set in a small town. Three spinsters, daughter, mother, and aunt, live in the house of Missalonghi. The daughter Missy sets out to escape from their poor spinster life and does so with help from her friend Una. A lovely story without chapter breaks that you won't be able to put down!
