I really enjoyed reading this book. I love the format, if I had to choose one format for memoirs to read forever it would be graphic novels. It gives the reader a unique experience to see more than words and adds to the identification with the main character. Having this book and her first in graphic novel format helped me to see and understand what her life was truly like.

That aside, this was a great follow up to the first volume. Often sequels fall short of the first story, but this was a great example of one that was just as strong, if not stronger. Satrapi's stories of navigating a move to Europe, finding her place in the world, moving back to Iran, becoming an adult and figuring out what her life could look like was so well-told. I feel as though I know so little about Iran's history, but Satrapi is able to bring readers up to speed without overwhelming you with information. Absolutely a great read and I wish there had been more.
