I love the art. The simple, black and white depictions of such horrific events, really brings it down to the perspective of a child being reared in a politically unstable environment. 

Endearing and deeply distressing. A powerful read.

Persepolis is a powerful read. As someone unfamiliar with the landscape of Iran, some of the town and city names were a little challenging to keep track of, but that doesn't take away from the impact of the story.
