emotional informative reflective fast-paced
Comme toujours avec les livres de Marjane Satrapi, les dessins sont très beaux et la narration est parfaite !
J’aime beaucoup comment l’auteure mélange son désir de raconter son histoire personnelle avec l’histoire de son pays, l’Iran. 
Je trouve que ce livre est important pour élargir sa perspective sur le monde et s'intéresser à ce qui se passe en dehors de l’Europe, ce qui, pour moi, est plus que nécessaire.

Compelling story with accompanying imagery that really drove home some of the more somber moments. It’s really amazing to consider the several lifetimes of experience she had by the time she was a young teen, even moreso that her spirit seems to have persevered throughout.

i really loved the art style of this, it was so beautifully done. i enjoyed the chapter/vignette style of the entire graphic novel also. the way Satrapi described her experiences throughout this time period was engaging and heartbreaking. since finishing it, i feel like i left her dangling and alone and that takes a really special storyteller to be able to do that.
