Me ha encantado!
Me gusta el tipo de dibujo, siendo en blanco y negro hay sensaciones y detalles que se tienen qu poder expresar en ausencia del color, supongo que desde fuera parece fácil pero vaya...
La autobiografía de la autora expresado en formato cómic me parece una forma estupenda de plasmar una biografía, lo convierte en una lectura ágil.
Obviamente, los temas tratados no son agradables... pero es a lo que vas siendo una biografía de una mujer iraní en época de la revolución islámica.
Había cosas que ya conocía, y otras muchas cosas interesantes que he descubierto con este libro.
Se convierte en uno de mis favoritos y lo recomiendo muchísimo a todo el mundo, seas fan de los cómics o no. Este tampoco es un cómic convencional...

This was a super heavy book. I thought I was going to read all four volumes today, but I decided I can't do that all at once.
That being said, it's the beautiful, beautiful memoir of a resilient, brilliant young girl. The parts towards the beginning, her talks with god, when the illustrations were more fantastical, were my favourite parts. But every section of this held weight.
The illustrations were wonderfully expressive, and the characterization of young Marji and her family was amazing and made me so fond of them all. A real love for her family, the world, and intellectualism shone in this book.

I ended up reading all of this at the laundromat, and I should have taken out the second book, too. It ends at a point when you feel like the story is simultaneously just beginning. It’s very matter-of-fact despite the emotional heft of the subject matter, and that paired with the stark art style gave the entire story a dry feeling to me—not dry as in boring, but dry as if it were almost flattened out, simplified. There were really touching moments that blossomed out of this, particularly towards the end and most distinctly concerning Marjane’s grandmother, and they really shone and stood out from the rest of the story for me.
This is a crucially informative telling that gives depth and perspective to a people and a place often lumped into exaggerated and inaccurate categories by U.S. Americans. I think it’s vital for that reason, despite it not being perhaps the most stellar graphic novel
I’ve ever read. And I did enjoy it, and I still haven’t read the next in the series. So I can’t wait to report back on how that goes!
