5.0 out of 5 starsThe Book that was needed.
24 February 2017
Munnu is the book that was much needed to enlighten people about the atrocities in Kashmir. You have to understand that this book is from the perspective of a particular man and in no way contains the whole story and unbiased research material about the incidents it covers. But as a story, it is one positive step towards introducing, understanding and acknowledging the condition of a state that is adjacent to multiple countries.
One could not have asked for a better way to be put in the shoes of a native caught and growing up in conflict.
Opinions will always differ about what is right and what is wrong. So go ahead, delve into Munnu's world, and make your own conclusions.

3.0 out of 5 starsIf you liked Maus, I guess you'd like it
7 July 2017
Left me unsatisfied to be honest. There could've been a stronger storytelling that the graphic novel needed, although a clear attempt was made. Definitely inspired by Art Spiegleman's Maus. If you liked Maus, I guess you'd like it. If you're too nationalistic this can be a hard one to swallow. I believe it could have a second part.

Exceptionally brilliant work and a very touching tale of Kashmir - erstwhile paradise amidst clouds now in a deplorable state of affairs! The Indian 'Maus' can we say. Saw this graphic novel listed in 'Amazon Rising Stars' and thanks to Amazon for it's great 'lists' & recommendations, encountered such a marvellous real life based work. It's just a few month after ordering & reading "Our Moon Has Blood Clots: A Memoir of a Lost Home in Kashmir" by Rahul Pandita. Would recommend both books as a good read to know first person account of what's happening in the crownlands of what's called India today. Amongst some of the best Graphic novels is Maus, Palenstine & Munnu in that order & the flow sounds very similar though geographically separated and will fill any empathetic heart with profound sadness to horror at the plight of the suffering...

Must read!

5.0 out of 5 starsEye opener and classic in Kashmir literature ..
14 May 2016
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
My first graphic novel experience and it was simply brethtaking .. The raw emotions and anger hidden behind the imagery and jokes is what makes this a must read .. An absolute eye opener and classic in Kashmir literature .. Some of the visuals are brilliant .. Heard its banned in open stores in India and can see why .. This one is a hard hitting take on Kashmir about the everyday life and gives a Kashmiris perception about the whole crisis .. Well done Malik Sajad aka Munnu

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the best graphic novels from Kashmir.
13 February 2017
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
Awesome piece of work from Kashmir's own Joe Sacco. I say this because I see very less difference between his and Sacco's work on my shelf ( Palestine and The Fixer), although Sacco has made big sketches to convey scenarios of his story.

The graphic novel has a plot that narrates everything from the point of the narrator, who belongs from a new generation of Kashmiri youth, trying to live a respectable life in a conflict zone. The struggle is deeply personified in his work, which contains raw emotions that can appease Kashmiri readers.

I loved reading it.

Fabulous, brilliant and dark. Malik Sajad brings his own life experiences to this Graphic Novel and gives us a hard-hitting, sometimes funny, sometimes horrifying account of life in Kashmir. Absolute must-read.

5.0 out of 5 starsA gripping novel. Must read
1 July 2019
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
'Munnu' is something I can never forget. Least to say, it was an experience. A powerful novel, it shows the situation of the Kashmiris through the eyes of an insider. It is a rollercoaster of emotions where at the end you are left thinking.

This is one of the best graphic novels I've read from an Indian graphic novelist. Brilliant. True. Moving. This can make into a great animated feature length film.

5.0 out of 5 starsBIG HATS OFF for such a fantastic / dense storytelling
25 November 2016
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
BIG HATS OFF for such a fantastic / dense storytelling. BIG HATS OFF for such cross cuts in the script! Hingul epitomises any and every faceless face today 'IN' & around (Maus or no Maus). This is a compliment from an 'outsider' who is geographically/nationally(!!) an "INSIDER". The 'INSIDE' is known as India.
