this was a really easy to read and insightful novel. I don't know much Iranian history, so I learnt a lot about this.

Couldn't put it down! I read it one night. It will make you laugh and cry, and it's also very educational. Drawings are beautiful.

This has surprised me immensely! I did not expect to love it so much. I believe this is one of those that everyone needs to read ~ this is a must read. I gained so much knowledge from this (while at the same time feeling that i lacked in common knowledge, which also has inspired me to learn more), and at the same time i do relate with Marjane's story. I can't say that I've witnessed war and such harsh living conditions, but i am an immigrant and at least from that point of view, i really felt what she was saying and i related to her feelings and relationship with parents. This is a must read.

 Persepolis is graphic novel written & Illustrated by Iranian-French artist Marjane Satrapi. It is a dramatized account on her life during the Iranian Revelation. Satrapi's story was both humorous & informative on the war & cultural shift that Iran have undergone, in addition to how her & her family coped with war. Their continuous fight for normalcy no matter what the risks where was impressive. Throughout the story, Marjane is constantly on a journey to find out where she belongs through childhood and adulthood. It is an excellent Read.
