Such a heartbreaking story that everyone should read at least once in their lifetime.
It shows the horrors of what was happening in a way that could be seen as disturbing but also in a way that makes it easier for those who don't like violence.
I wish that people understand how important this book is and hopefully read it when they can.
The fact that some people want to ban it is disgusting, this book is so important to so many people and the claim that they want it banned because of 'nudity' is honestly stupid. They're mice! They're not really known for wearing clothes.
Anyway, I enjoyed this book, the art was nice and simple while I was able to understand everything that was happening.
